Answer:

152 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

Explanation:

Data by percent is the molar fraction . 100.

Molar fraction of Helium = 32/ 100 → 0.32

Molar fraction of O₂ = 68/100 → 0.68

Sum of molar fractions in a mixture = 1

0.68 + 0.32 = 1

If we apply the molar fraction, we can determine the partial pressure.

Mole fraction = Partial pressure / Total pressure

0.32 = Partial pressure O₂ / 475kPa →  0.32 . 475 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

152 kPa = Partial pressure O₂
