For gases, the volume percentage = mole percentage
The mole fraction of carbon dioxide = 1% = .01
The total pressure = 1 bar = 750.0615613026439 mmHg
Partial Pressure of carbon dioxide = .01 * 750.0615613026439 = 7.50 mmHg
Similar will be the case of N2 and O2.
Calculate the mole fraction of the gas and then derive the partial pressure.
