(b) A mixture of helium, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases are at a pressure of 1200 torr in a 4 L closed container. There are a total of 24 moles of gas molecules in the container. If the helium concentration is 2 moles/L and hydrogen concentration is 1.5 moles/L, estimate the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in atm.
