In a mixture of gases, for example 70% Helium and 30% Oxygen, the pressure exerted will be split 70/30 between the gases, respectively. As John Dalton discovered, the proportion of these pressures is the proportion of the number of molecules of the gas within the mixture.

The difference between vapor pressure of a pure solvent and its partial pressure?

The vapor pressure of a pure solvent is the pressure exerted by the solvent molecules in a closed system at equilibrium. Partial pressure, on the other hand, refers to the pressure exerted by a specific component of a mixture of gases. In a mixture of gases, each component exerts its own partial pressure, which can be different from the vapor pressure of the pure solvent if other components are present in the system.

What object in space exerts force on another object that is close to it?

An object in space exerts force on another object close to it due to gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. The strength of the gravitational force is determined by the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
