According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, here, the pressure exerted by C will not be affected by A and B.

And the total pressure exerted will just be the scalar sum of all the partial pressures.

Letxbe the partial pressure of C.

Hence-

200 mm of Hg + 180 mm of Hg + x =1 atm

x = 1 atm-380 mm of Hg

But 1atm = 760 mm of Hg.

Therefore,x = 760-380=380 mm of Hg.

Moreover,

Partial Pressure Mole fraction × Total Pressure

Hence-

380 mm of Hg= X of A × 760 mm of Hg.

X of C = 1/2 =0.5

The mole fraction of C is0.5
