Question

Argon has with a volume of 370.0 mL, a pressure of 746.0 mm Hg, and a temperature of 29.00 C is mixed with nitrogen gas and transferred without loss to a 500.p mL container at 29.0C. The total pressure of the gas mixture in the second container is found to be 692.0 mmHg, at the same temperature. 
a. How many moles of argon are there 

b. How many moles of gas are in the new container? 
c. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Write the expression for equation of state as follows:

PV = nRT     ......(1)
