A 7.00 L tank at 8.24 °C is filled with 8.65 g of boron trifluoride gas and 4.45 g of carbon monoxide gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas, and the total pressure in the tank. Be sure your answers have the correct number of significant digits.

### Gas Mixture Problem

**Incorrect Answers Notification:**
- Boron trifluoride: Partial pressure: Your answer is incorrect.
- Carbon monoxide: Partial pressure: Your answer is incorrect.
- Total pressure in tank: Your answer is incorrect.

**Problem Statement:**
A 7.00 L tank at 8.24 °C is filled with 8.65 g of boron trifluoride gas and 4.45 g of carbon monoxide gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions.

**Task:**
Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas, and the total pressure in the tank. Ensure your answers have the correct number of significant digits.

**Results:**

| Gas               | Mole Fraction   | Partial Pressure (atm) |
|-------------------|-----------------|-------------------------|
| Boron trifluoride | 0.446           | 1.47                    |
| Carbon monoxide   | 0.554           | 1.83                    |
| **Total Pressure**   |                 | **3.30**                |

**Instructions:**
Ensure you review the calculations to find where errors might have occurred and attempt to correct them. Consider the use of appropriate formulas for mole fraction and partial pressure calculations under ideal gas assumptions.
