The volumes of the two vessels are in the ratio of 2:1. One contains nitrogen and the other oxygen a — States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Let V1 = 2V and V2 = V. On connecting, total volume V = 3V [16]. Final partial pressures: P'($N_2$) = 800 * 2V / 3V = 1600/3 [16]. P'($O_2$) = 680 * V / 3V = 680/3 [16]. Total pressure = (1600 + 680)/3 = 2280/3 = 760 mm [16].
