For this system, we use Dalton's law of partial pressures where the total pressure of a gas mixture is said to be equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gases. The partial pressure of each gas would be calculated by the product of the mole fraction and the original pressure of the gas. We do as follows:
Total pressure = x1P1 + x2P2
Total pressure = (2.0 / 7.0 )(3.5) + (1.5/7.0)(2.6)
Total pressure = 1.56 atm
