The stopcock connecting a 1.30 L bulb containing xenon gas at a pressure of 6.15 atm, and a 4.25 L bulb containing oxygen gas at a pressure of 3.53 atm, is opened and the gases are allowed to mix. Assuming that the temperature remains constant, the final pressure in the system is 8.33 atm. True or false?
