    The answer to your question is p O2 = 17.2 kPa, letter b

    Explanation:

    Remember that in a mixture of gases, total pressure is equal to the sum of the pressure of individual gases.

    Then

    Pt = p He + p CO2 + p O2

    Data

    Pt = 101.3 kPa

    pHe = 84kPa

    pCO2 = 0.1 kPa

    p O2 = ?

    Substitution

    101.3 = 84 + 0.1 + pO2

    pO2 = 101.3 - 84 - 0.1

    pO2 = 17.2 kPa
