Manipal MET2021PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
Two identical cylinders contain helium at 2.5 atm and argon at 1 atm respectively. If both the gases are filled in one of the cylinders, the pressure would be :
Options
- A3.5 atm
- B1.50 atm
- C1.75 atm
- D1 atm
Correct answer
A. 3.5 atm
Step-by-step solution
Total pressure, when the two gases are filled in one cylinder is equal to sum of the pressures of the individual gases. Thus, total pressure =2.5+1=3.5 ~atm
