As we learnt in 

Partial Pressure of a gas in gaseous mixture -

Partial Pressure = (Total Pressure of Mixture) \times (mole fraction of gas)

 

-

 

Weight of H2 = 20 g in 100 g mixture ; Weight of O2  = 80 g

\therefore M\! oles \: o\! f\: H_{2} = \frac{20}{2}= 10                    

\therefore M\! oles \: o\! f\: O_{2} = \frac{80}{32}= \frac{5}{2}

\therefore Total\: M\! oles \:=10+ \frac{5}{2}= \frac{25}{2}

\therefore \: \: \: P_{H_{2}}= P_{T}\times mole \: f\! raction \:o\! f\: H_{2}= 1\times \frac{10}{25/2}= 0.8\: bar
