    This problem can be solved by Dalton's law of partial pressures which states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

    Ptotal = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + ... + Pn

    Herein, Ptotal = P (Ne) + P (Ar) + P (He)

    Ptotal = 1.25 atm, P (Ne) = 0.68 atm and P (Ar) = 0.35

    So, P (He) = Ptotal - P (Ne) - P (Ar) = 1.25 - 0.68 - 0.35 = 0.22 atm
