Answer:

157.29 Torr

Explanation:

This question may be solved by the mole fraction.

Mole fraction → Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

If the atmosphere is about 21% you assume that the mole fraction is 0.21 so:

0.21 = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

0.21 = Partial pressure of gas / 749 Torr

Partial pressure of the gas = 749 Torr . 0.21 →  157.29 Torr

Sladkaya [172]

M1 = 17.45 M

M2 = 0.83 M

V2 = 250 ml

M1. V1= M2. V2

V1 = (M2. V2)/M1 = (0.83× 250)/ 17.45= 11.89 ml
