Answer: 83.11 torr

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.

i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......

In this case,

Ptotal = 384 torr

P1 = 289 torr

P2 = 11.89 torr

P3 = ? (let the partial pressure of the remaining gas be Z)

Ptotal = P1 + P2 + Z

384 torr = 289 torr + 11.89 torr + Z

384 torr = 300.89 torr + Z

Z = 384 torr - 300.89 torr

Z = 83.11 torr

Thus, the partial pressure of the remaining gas is 83.11 torr.
