Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.
Solution:
Initially, only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.
(
) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)
....(1)
= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.
Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:
partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :
Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.
= Total pressure of the mixture.
from (1)
On rearranging, we get:
The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.
