A closed flask contains a 0.25 moles of O2 which exerts a pressure of
0.50 atm. If 0.75 moles of CO, is added to the container what is the
total pressure in the flask?​

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{2.0 atm}}  

Explanation:

We can use Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures:

Each gas in a mixture of gases exerts its pressure separately from the other gases.

0.25 mol of O₂ exerts 0.50 atm.

If you add 0.75 mol of CO, the total amount of gas is  

0.25 mol + 0.75 mol = 1.00 mol

[tex]p_{\text{total}} = \text{1.00 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{0.50 atm}}{\text{0.25 mol}}= \textbf{2.0 atm}\\\\\text{The total pressure in the flask is $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.0 atm}}$}[/tex]

 

The pressure of the closed flask after the addition of 0.75 moles of CO has been 2 atm.

Partial pressure can be defined as the pressure exerted by each gas in a given solution.

The total moles of gas in the container by the addition of CO has been:

Total moles = moles of oxygen + moles of CO

Total moles = 0.25 + 0.75

Total moles = 1 mol.

By using Dalton's law of partial pressure:

Total pressure = total moles [tex]\rm \times\;\dfrac{pressure\;of\;oxygen}{moles\;of\;oxygen}[/tex]

Total pressure = 1 [tex]\rm \times\;\dfrac{0.50}{0.25}[/tex]

Total pressure = 2 atm.

The pressure of the closed flask after the addition of 0.75 moles of CO has been 2 atm.
