A 3.0 L flask containing helium at 145 mmHg is connected by a closed valve to a 2.0 L flask containing argon at 355 mmHg. When the valve is opened and the gases are allowed to mix equally in the two flasks, what is the total pressure (in mmHg) in the two connected flasks after mixing ?

Assuming that both helium and argon act like ideal gases, the total pressure after mixing would be approximately $229\; \rm mmHg$ .

Explanation:

By the ideal gas equation, $P\cdot V = n \cdot R \cdot T$ , where

is the pressure of the sample.

is the volume of the container.

is the number of moles of gas particles in the sample.

is the ideal gas constant.

is the temperature of the sample.

Rewrite to obtain:

$\displaystyle n = \frac{P \cdot V}{R\cdot T}$ , and $\displaystyle P = \frac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{V}$ .

Assume that the two samples have the same temperature, . Also, assume that mixing the two gases did not affect the temperature.

Apply the equation $\displaystyle n = \frac{P \cdot V}{R\cdot T}$ to find the number of moles of gas particles in each container:

In the helium container, $V = 3.0\; \rm L$ and $P = \rm 145\; mmHg$ . Hence, $\displaystyle n_1 = \frac{P\cdot V}{R \cdot T} = \frac{(3.0\; \text{L}) \cdot (145\; \text{mmHg})}{R\cdot T}$ .In the argon container, $V = 2.0\; \rm L$ and $P = 355\; \rm mmHg$ . Hence, $\displaystyle n_2 = \frac{P\cdot V}{R \cdot T} = \frac{(2.0\; \text{L}) \cdot (355\; \text{mmHg})}{R\cdot T}$ .

After mixing, $V = 2.0 + 3.0 = 5.0\; \rm L$ . Assuming that temperature stays the same.

$\displaystyle n_1 + n_2 = \frac{(3.0\; \text{L}) \cdot (145\; \text{mmHg})}{R\cdot T} + \frac{(2.0\; \text{L}) \cdot (355\; \text{mmHg})}{R\cdot T}$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle P = \frac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{V}$ to find the pressure after mixing.

$\begin{aligned}P &= \displaystyle \frac{\displaystyle \displaystyle \left(\frac{(3.0\; \text{L}) \cdot (145\; \text{mmHg})}{R\cdot T} + \frac{(2.0\; \text{L}) \cdot (355\; \text{mmHg})}{R\cdot T}\right) \cdot R \cdot T}{5.0\; \rm L} \\ &= \frac{3.0\; \rm L \times 145\; \rm mmHg + 2.0\; \rm L \times 355\; \rm mmHg}{5.0\; \rm L} \\ &\approx 229\; \rm mmHg\end{aligned}$ .

The total pressure is 229 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of helium flask = 3.0 L

Pressure helium flask = 145 mm Hg

Volume of argon flask = 2.0 L

Pressure argon flask = 355 mmHg

total volume = 5.0 L

Step 2: Partial pressure helium

pHe = 145 *(3/5) = 87.0 atm

Step 3: Calculate pressure argon

pAr = 355*(2/5) = 142.0 atm

Step 4: Calculate total pressure

Total pressure = 87.0 + 142.0 atm

Total pressure = 229 atm

The total pressure is 229 atm

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.
