When 0.653 L of Ar at 1.20 atm and 227°C is mixed with 0.278 L of O2 at 501 torr and 127°C in a 400. mL flask at 27°C, what is the pressure in the flask?
pv = nRT
no of moles of argon nAr = PV/RT
= 1.2*0.653/0.0821*500
= 0.019moles
no of moles of O2 nO2 = PV/RT
p = 501/760 = 0.659atm
T = 127 +273 = 400K
nO2 = 0.659*0.278/0.0821*400 = 0.00557moles
total no of moles nAr + nO2 = 0.019 +0.00557 = 0.02457moles
PV = nRT
P = nRT/V
= 0.024457*0.0821*300/0.4 = 1.5atm >>>> anser
pressure in the flask = 1.5atm
