Consider a rigid 21.44 L gas canister that holds a mixture of two gases, Cl₂ and Xe. The total number of moles in the container is 6.71 moles, and the container is held at 25 degrees Celsius. If there are 1.77 moles of Xe in the container, what is the partial pressure of Cl₂ in the gas mixture? Express your answer in terms of atm using at least three significant figures.
