    236 torr + 159 torr + 131 torr = 526 torr total

    n = PV / RT = (526 torr) x (1.10 L) / ((62.36367 L torr/K mol) x (25.0 + 273.15) K) = 0.031118 mol total

    (0.031118 mol) x (236 torr / 526 torr) x (28.01344 g N2/mol) = 0.391 g N2

    (0.031118 mol) x (159 torr / 526 torr) x (31.99886 g O2/mol) = 0.301 g O2

    (0.031118 mol) x (131 torr / 526 torr) x (4.002602 g He/mol) = 0.0310 g He
