Question

8. The following system contains 20.0 psi each of gases A and B in the end bulbs with an evacuated bulb in the centre. Both stopcocks are opened at once. What is the new overall pressure in the system?
I literally have no idea how to even start this, I know that the answer is 13.3 psi, but I don't have any clue why or how to get there.

Answer 1

Answer:

13.3

Explanation:

Before opening the stopcocks you have 40psi in total.

After that, those 40psi will be divided into 3bulbs, so 40/3=13.3psi for the system.
