    The correct answer is 34.48 atm

    Explanation:

    According to the Dalton's law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases (which do not react each other) is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gasses.

    We have a mixture with the following individual partial pressures:

    P (propane) = 33.1 atm

    P (nitrogen) = 1.11 atm

    P (oxygen) = 0.27 atm

    The total pressure is simply the sum of these partial pressures:

    Ptotal = P (propane) + P (nitrogen) + P (oxygen)

    = 33.1 atm + 1.11 atm + 0.27 atm

    = 34.48 atm
