Dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl₂F2, also known as Freon-12

Dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl₂F2, also known as Freon-12) used to be used as refrigerant, but is banned due to the evidence that it destroys the ozone layer. If the total pressure of a mixture of 14.0 g of Freon-12 gas and 22.0 g of oxygen gas is 846 mm Hg. What is the (a) mole fraction and (b) partial pressure of each gas? [Xfreon-12 = 0.144, Xo₂= 0.856, Pfreon-12 = 122 mm Hg, Po₂ = 724 mm Hg]
