Answer:

180 mmHg

Explanation:

Total volume of gases = 20% + 80%= 100%

Total pressure of gases = 900 mm Hg

Note that partial pressure of a gas = mole fraction × total pressure

Mole fraction of oxygen = 20/100

Hence partial pressure of oxygen= 20/100 × 900 mm Hg

partial pressure of oxygen= 180 mmHg
