Answer:
P = 0.75 atm
Explanation:
Using Boyle's law
[tex] {P_A}\times {V_A}+{P_B}\times {V_B}+{P_C}\times {V_C}={P}\times {V}[/tex]
Given ,
For Bulb A
Pressure = 190 torr
The conversion of P(torr) to P(atm) is shown below:
[tex]P(torr)=\frac {1}{760}\times P(atm)[/tex]
So,
Pressure = 190 / 760 atm = 0.25 atm
Volume = 200 mL
For Bulb B
Pressure = 1 atm
Volume = 400 mL
For Bulb C
Volume = 1.00 L = 1000 mL
Pressure = 75.994 kPa
The expression for the conversion of pressure in KiloPascal to pressure in atm is shown below:
P (kPa) = [tex]\frac {1}{101.325}[/tex] P (atm)
75.994 kPa = [tex]\frac {75.994}{101.325}[/tex] atm
Pressure = 0.75 atm
Also, Total volume, V = 200 + 400 + 1000 mL = 1600 mL
Using above equation as:
[tex] {0.25}\times {200}+{1.00}\times {400}+{0.75}\times {1000}={P}\times {1600}[/tex]
We get, Total pressure, P = 0.75 atm
