Answer

900 mmHg.

Work Step by Step

Partial pressure of argon gas is $P_{Ar}=0.25\,atm= 0.25\,atm\times\frac{760\, mmHg}{1\,atm}=190\, mmHg$ Partial pressure of helium gas is $P_{He}= 350\, mmHg$ Partial pressure of nitrogen gas is $P_{N_{2}}=360\,torr=360\,torr\times\frac{1\, mmHg}{1\,torr}$ $=360\, mmHg$ Using Dalton's law, we have, total pressure $P_{total}=P_{Ar}+P_{He}+P_{N_{2}}$ $=190\, mmHg+ 350\, mmHg+360\, mmHg$ $=900\, mmHg$
