Question
The stopcock between A and B is opened and the system is allowed to come to equilibrium. The pressure in A and B is now 0.21 atm. What do bulbs A and B contain?

Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
At -73°C, water vapor completely condenses/freezes into ice $H_2O$(s) inside Bulb B. Both $CO_2$(g) and $N_2$(g) remain in the gaseous phase and distribute between bulbs A and B. Thus, bulbs A and B contain $CO_2$(g) and $N_2$(g), while Bulb B also contains the solidified water.
