QuoteA 100 ml vessel containing O2(g) at 1.0 atm and 400 K is connected toa 300 ml vessel containing NO(g) at
1.5 atm and 400 K by means of a narrow tube of negligible volume where gases react to form NO2. Final pressure of mixture will be-
(A) 1 .125 atm (6) 0.125 atm (C) 1 atm (0) 1.5 atm

O2
P=1atm
V=100mL
T=400K
NO
P=1.5atm
V=300mL
T=400K
Moles of O2 = PV/RT
= 1*0.100/RT
= 0.1/RTMoles of NO = PV/RT
= 1.5*0.300/RT
= 0.45/RTBalanced equation is
O2 +2 NO -----> 2NO Initial moles 0.1/RT 0.45/RT 0
Final moles 0 0.25/RT 0.20/RTTotal moles finally = 0.25/RT + 0.20/RT= 0.45/RT
Total Volume = 400mL =0.400L
P (total)= n(total)RT/V Plug in all values in proper units
You will get the right answer.
