Three components of air are carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2). In a sample containing these gases 1 atm (or 760 torr), what is the partial pressure of oxygen if the pressure of CO2 is 0.285 torr and the pressure of N2 is 593.525 torr?
760 torr = 0.285 torr + 593.525 torr + P_O2
P_O2 = 760 - (0.285 + 593.525) torr
P_O2 = 166.190 torr
