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, H₂O is solid. CO₂ (sublimes at -78°C) and N₂ remain gaseous. The gases distribute between A and B, but the solid H₂O condenses entirely in the colder bulb B. Thus A has CO₂/N₂ gases, B has CO₂/N₂ gases and solid H₂O. Therefore, correct answer is C.
