Air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon (and a few other trace gases that we will ignore here). Assume you have a container of air, where nitrogen has a partial pressure of 870 torr, oxygen has a partial pressure of 256 torr, and argon has a partial pressure of 12 torr. What is the total pressure in the container?

4. A glass container was initially charged with 2.00 moles of a gas sample at 3.75 atm and 21.7 °C. Some of the gas was released as the temperature was increased to 28.1 °C, so the final pressure in the container was reduced to 0.998 atm. Assume the volume stayed the same. How many moles of the gas sample are present at the end?
