Solution
The correct option is B 159 mmHg
When the mixture of non reactive gas applies pressure on a system, the pressure exerted by individual gas is termed as partial pressure. A gas will move from an area where its partial pressure is higher to an area where its partial pressure is lower.
To solve this numerical we must know that 1 atmosphere is equal to 760 mmHg.
For 21% of the oxygen gas, partial pressure will be (21*760)/100 = 159 mmHg.
