Problem based on partial pressure


Question: Human lungs have evolved to breathe oxygen at a pressure as that in the atmosphere, 0.21 atm. If a particular heliox mixture to be carried by a scuba diver is at a pressure of 7.00 atm, what should be the partial pressure due to helium in order to maintain the pressure due to oxygen at 0.21 atm?
