    Answer;

    Partial pressure of Ar = 92.934 kPa

    Explanation;

    Partial pressure of a gas = Mole fraction * Total pressure

    Mole fraction = Number of moles of a gas / Total moles of gas

    Therefore;

    Mole fraction of Ar = 0.211 mol / (0.211 + 0.150)

    = 0.5845

    Total pressure = 159 kPa

    Hence;

    Partial pressure of Ar = 0.5845 * 159 kPa

    = 92.934 kPa
