Question

what is ne partal pressure it we connect the two asas through a stopcock and we open the stopcock, Express the partial pressure in torr to three significant figures. or A 275-ml. fask contains pure holium at a pressure of 748 torr. A second flask with a volume of 490 mL contains pure argon at a prossure of 717 torr ? You may want to reference (Pages 433-439) Section 10.7 while completing this problem torr Submit Part B If we connect the two flasks through a stopcock and we open the stopcock, what is the partial pressure of argon? Express the partial pressure in torr to three significant figures. torr Submit Partc f we connect the two flasks through a stopcock and we open the stopcock what is the total

Explanation / Answer

Part A)

for helium (He):

pressure P1 = 748 torr

volume V1= 275ml

after mixing

total volume is V2 = 275 + 490 = 765 mL

P1 V1 = P2 V2

748 x 275 = P2 x 765

P2 = 269

partial pressure of PHe = 269 torr

part B)

p1 = 717 torr

V1 = 490 ml

total volume is V2 = 275 + 490 = 765 mL

P1 V1 = P2 V2

717 x 490 = P2 x 765

P2 = 459

partial pressure of Ar = 459 torr

part C)

total pressure = 728 torr
