8 g of O ₂, 14 ~g of N ₂ , and 2 g of CO ₂ is mixed in a container of 10 L capacity at 27^ C . The pressure exerted by the mixture in terms of atmospheric pressure is (R=0.082 ~L ~atm k ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ ):
Options
- A1.4 atm
- B2.5 atm
- C3.7 atm
- D8.7 atm
Correct answer
C. 3.7 atm
Step-by-step solution
