Two flasks are connected by a stopcock. Flask A (2.0L) contains NX2 at 1.2atm and flask B (3.0L) contains Ar at 0.80atm, both at the same temperature. When the stopcock is opened (temperature constant), the final total pressure is
A1.00atm
B0.96atm
C2.00atm
D0.48atm
Answer: B
Each gas expands into the total volume 5.0L (Boyle's law). pNX2=1.2×2.0/5.0=0.48atm, pAr=0.80×3.0/5.0=0.48atm. Total =0.96atm (Dalton's law).
