Question

If container A has a volume of 2.03 liters and a pressure of 1.3 atm, Container B has a volume of 0.98 liters with a pressure of 2.16 atm and container which has a volume of 1.55 liters and a pressure of 1.65 atm are mixed in Container D, which has a volume of 2.54 liters, what is the total pressure in container D?

Answer 1

In this question, we need to find the total pressure of container D, based on the mixture of the partial pressures of the previous containers, the partial pressures are: A = 1.3 atm, B = 2.16 atm and C = 1.65 atm

Total pressure is defined as the sum of all partial pressures, therefore we will have:

D = A + B + C

D = 1.3 + 2.16 + 1.65

D = 5.11 atm

The total pressure in D will be 5.11 atm
