Question

C

Container A in Fig. 21-22 holds an ideal gas at a pressure of 5.6 ? 105 Pa and a temperature of 305 K. It is connected by a thin tube to container B with four times the volume of A. Container B holds the same ideal gas at a pressure of 1.0 ? 105 Pa and a temperature of 400 K. The connecting valve is opened, and equilibrium is achieved at a common pressure while the temperature of each container is kept constant at its initial value. What is the final pressure in the system?
Pa
