**Problem Statement:**

Suppose that Daniel has a 3.00 L bottle that contains a mixture of \( O_2 \), \( N_2 \), and \( CO_2 \) under a total pressure of 6.00 atm. He knows that the mixture contains 0.250 mol \( N_2 \) and that the partial pressure of \( CO_2 \) is 0.250 atm. If the temperature is 273 K, what is the partial pressure of \( O_2 \)?

\[ P_{O_2} = \]  \_\_\_\_\_ atm

---

**Note:**

Students should utilize Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures to solve for the partial pressure of \( O_2 \). Dalton’s Law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture.

Expert Solution
Step 1

1- First we need to determine the partial pressure of N

Using ideal gas law, PV = nRT 

PN2 = nRT /V 

PN2 = [ 0.250mol × 0.0821atmLmol-1K-1 × 273K / 3.00L ] 

PN2 = [ 5.60 / 3.00 ] atm 

PN2 = 1.87 atm 

Partial pressure of Nitrogen is 1.87atm
