Question

container a holds 717mL of an ideal gas at 2.90atm. container b holds 159mL of a different ideal gas at 4.30atm. if the gases are allowed to mix together, what is the resulting pressure?

Answer 1

The resulting pressure is 2.58 atm.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, each gas will exert its pressure independently of the other.
Hence we can use Boyle's Law to calculate the pressure of each gas separately as it expands into the total volume of the two containers.
