A 280-mL flask contains pure helium at a pressure of 748 torr. A second flask with a volume of 460 mL contains pure argon at a pressure of 719 torr.If we connect the two flasks through a stopcock and we open the stopcock, what is the partial pressure of helium? Express the partial pressure in torr to three significant figures.

A chemist weighed out 5.14 g of a mixture containing unknown amounts of BaO(s) and CaO(s) and placed the sample in a 1.50-L flask containing CO2(g) at 30.0C and 750. torr. After the reaction to form BaCO3(s) and CaCO3(s) was completed, the pressure of CO2(g) remaining was 230. torr. Calculate the mass percentages of CaO(s) and BaO(s) in the mixture.
A 39.6-mL sample of gas is trapped in a syringe and heated from 27 C to 127 C. What is the new volume (in mL) in the syringe if the pressure is constant?
A certain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855 L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25C and the barometric pressure is 730 torr. The balloon then rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605 torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000 ft?
If equal masses of O2 and N2 are placed in separate containers of equal volume at the same temperature, which of the following statements is true? If false, explain why it is false. (a) The pressure in the flask containing N2 is greater than that in the flask containing O2. (b) There are more molecules in the flask containing O2 than in the flask containing N2.
A mixture contained calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. A sample of this mixture weighing 7.85 g was reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. The reactions are CaCO3(g)+2HCL(aq)CaCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g)MgCO3(s)+2HCL(aq)MgCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.94 L of carbon dioxide, CO2, at 25C and 785 mmHg, what were the percentages of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in the mixture?
Two identical He-filled balloons, each with a volume of 20 L, are allowed to rise into the atmosphere. One rises to an altitude of 3000 m while the other rises to 6000 m. a Assuming that the balloons are at the same temperature, which balloon has the greater volume? b What information would you need in order to calculate the volume of each of the balloons at their respective heights?
