Solution

no. of moles of O2 = givenmassmolarmass= x32
no. of moles of CO2= givenmassmolarmass=x44
Mole fraction of O2 =no.ofmolesofO2no.ofmolesofO2+no.ofmolesofCO2 = x32x32+x44 = x3276x1408 = 0.5
The partial pressure of an individual gas is equal to the total pressure multiplied by the mole fraction of that gas.
So, Partial pressure of O2 = 10× 0.5 = 5 atm
