Question
the partial pressure of a gas depends on the volume of the gas in a structure molecular weight of that gas atmospheric pressure
According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is directly proportional to its mole fraction. In a closed - system (assuming ideal gas behavior), for a gas in a structure (a container), using the ideal gas law \(PV = nRT\), if the temperature \(T\) and volume \(V\) are constant, \(P=\frac{nRT}{V}\). The mole fraction of a gas in a mixture of gases in a container (structure) affects its partial pressure. Molecular weight does not directly affect partial pressure (as per ideal gas law which depends on moles, not molecular weight). Atmospheric pressure is the total pressure of all gases in the atmosphere, and partial pressure is related to the proportion of a gas in a mixture (in a given volume).
