Five gases combined in a gas cylinder have the following partial pressures 3.00 atm (#N_2#), 1.80 atm (#O_2), 0.29 atm (Ar), 0.18 atm (He), and 0.10 atm (H). What is the total pressure that is exerted by the gases?

For your problem, we have 5 component gases that are not expected to react with each other........
And so............
Note also that given the gas laws, the partial pressures may be used to find the mole fraction of each component:
