Detailed Solution

It is provided in question that:

PA=100 torr, PB=80 torr

moles of A=2, moles of B=3

So, we can calculate the mole fraction of A as,

xA=mole fraction of A=no. of moles of Atotal moles

=22+3=0.4

Similarly, we can calculate the mole fraction of B as,

xB=mole fraction of B=no. of moles of B total moles

=32+3=0.6

Total pressure=PAxA+PBxB

=100×0.4+80×0.6=88 torr

Hence, the required answer is 88 torr.
