A gas cylinder contains 2.0 mol of gas X and 6.0 mol of gas Y at a total pressure of 2.1 atm. What is the partial pressure of gas Y?

1) mol fraction of gas X= 2/(6+2)=2/8=1/4
2) mol fraction of gas Y= 6/(6+2)=6/8=3/4
3) Partial pressure of X = 1/4*2.1 atm=0.53 atm
4) Partial pressure of Y = 3/4*2.1=1.6 atm
