Consider the composite system, which is held at $300 K$ , shown in the following figure. Assuming ideal gas behavior, calculate the total pressure (in atm) if the barriers separating the compartments are removed. Assume that the volume of the barriers is negligible.

Solution

The number of moles of $H e, N e$ and $X e$ is given by
$n_{H e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{3}{R T} n_{N e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{10}{R T}$
$n_{X e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{1}{R T}$
$n = n_{H e} + n_{N e} + n_{X e} = \frac{(3 + 10 + 1)}{R T} = \frac{14}{R T}$
Total volume of the vessel (V) = $2 + 4 + 1 = 7 L$
The total pressure is given by
$P = \frac{(n_{H e} + n_{N e} + n_{X e}) R T}{V}$
$P_{t o t a l} = \frac{(14)}{R T} \times \frac{R T}{7} = 2 a t m$
