A vessel of capacity 3 litres contains 22g of `CO_(2)` and 28 g of nitrogen at `30^(@)C`. Calculate the partial pressure and hence the total pressure exerted by the gas mixture. R = 8.31 J `m o l^(-1) K^(-1)`.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of each gas.

For Carbon Dioxide (CO₂):
- Given mass = 22 g
- Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 (C) + 32 (O₂) = 44 g/mol
- Number of moles of CO₂ = mass / molar mass = 22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.5 mol
