Solution

The correct option is B 1.6 atm.
According to Dalton's law, the partial pressure of a gas is equals to the product of total pressure and mole fraction.
We have H2,HeandCH4 gas with equal mass, m.
Total Pressure = 2.6 atm
PartialPressureofH2=TotalPressure×χH2
=2.6×nH2nH2+nHe+nCH4
=2.6×m2m2+m4+m16
=2.6×813
PartialPressureH2=1.6atm
