    Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm

    Explanation:

    We apply the mole fraction concept to solve this:

    Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

    Total moles = 0.3 moles of CO₂ + 0.2706 moles of SO₂ + 0.35 moles H₂O

    Total moles = 0.9206 moles

    Mole fraction SO₂ = 0.2706 moles / 0.9206 moles → 0.29

    Now, we can know the partial pressure:

    0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / Total pressure

    0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / 1.5 atm

    0.29. 1.5atm = Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm
