    N2 = 588.95 mm Hg

    O2 = 158.36 mm Hg

    Ar = 6.787 mm Hg

    Explanation:

    Their percentage represents their mole fraction.

    N2 = 78.1% = 0.781

    O2 = 21.0% = 0.21

    Ar = 0.9% = 0.009

    Barometric pressure is 754.1 mm Hg

    Partial pressure for each will be,

    For N2 = 0.781 x 754.1 = 588.95 mm Hg

    For O2 = 0.21 x 754.1 = 158.36 mm Hg

    For Ar = 0.009 x 754.1 = 6.787 mm Hg
