0.4 atm pressure exerted by oxygen if 80% of the gas pressure is exerted by the nitrogen.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure is defined to be the amount of force exerted per area

80% of pressure is exerted by nitrogen gas.

So, 20% of pressure will be exerted by oxygen gas.

20% of 2.0 atm = 0.4 atm

Hence, 0.4 atm pressure exerted by oxygen if 80% of the gas pressure is exerted by the nitrogen.
