A student prepares a gas mixture in a rigid container by combining 2.8 g of \(\text{N}_2\text{(g)}\), 6.4 g of \(\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\), and 8.0 g of \(\text{Ar(g)}\). The total pressure inside the container is measured to be 1.50 atm. What is the partial pressure of \(\text{N}_2\text{(g)}\) in the mixture?

- **A.** \(0.30 \text{ atm}\)
- **B.** \(0.50 \text{ atm}\)
- **C.** \(0.60 \text{ atm}\)
- **D.** \(1.20 \text{ atm}\)
