Answer:
1.8 atm
Explanation:
For bottle "A"
P1 = 1.8 atm V1 = 2.4L, P2 = ?, V2 = 2.4 + 4.8 L = 7.2 L,
Thus using P1•V1 = P2•V2, we have;
P2 = (1.8 × 2.4)/7.2 = 0.6 atm
For bottle "B"
P1 = 1.8 atm, V1 = 4.8L, P2 = ?, V2 = 7.2L,
P2 = (1.8 × 4.8)/7.2 = 1.2 atm
We will now add the individual pressures of each bottle;
Total pressure = P(A) + P(B)
Total pressure = 0.6 + 1.2
Total pressure = 1.8 atm.
