    The final pressure is 4.0 atm (option B)

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Volume He = 6.0 L

    Volume N2 = 10.0 L

    Temp = 0 °C

    Pressure = 1.0 atm

    new total volume = 4.0 L

    Step 2: Calculate new pressure of He

    P1*V1 = P2V2

    1.0 * 6.0 = P2 * 4.0

    P2 = 6.0 / 4.0 atm

    Step 3: Calculate new pressure of N2

    P1*V1 = P2V2

    1.0 * 10.0 = P2 * 4.0

    P2 = 10.0 / 4.0 atm

    Step 4: Calculate total pressure

    P = 6/4 atm + 10/4 atm = 16/4 atm = 4.0 atm

    The final pressure is 4.0 atm (option B)

    4 atm. Option B.

    Explanation:

    We use the Ideal Gases Law to solve this problem: P. V = n. R. T

    We need the moles of each gas:

    6L. 1atm = n. 0.082. 273K → (6L. 1atm) / (0.082. 273K) = n → 0.27 mol He

    10L. atm = n. 0.082. 273K → (10L. 1atm) / (0.082. 273K) = n → 0.45 mol N₂

    Total moles on the mixture → 0.27 mol He + 0.45 mol N₂ = 0.72 moles

    Now, we apply the Ideal Gases Law again.

    Pressure. 4L = 0.72 moles. 0.082. 273K

    P = (0.72 moles. 0.082. 273K) 4L → 4.02 atm
