In the flask diagrammed below, the left bulb contains 3.0l of neon at a pressure of 2.0 atm. the right bulb contains 2.0l of argon at a pressure of 1.0 atm. what is the mole fraction of neon and argon in the final mixture after the valve is opened and a uniform pressure is reached at constant temperature (25 ? c)?

i've determined the final pressure to be 1.6atm using p1v1+p2v2 = pfvf, but i have no idea how to get the mole fractions.

Mole fraction of Neon  = 0.75 = 3/4

Mole fraction of Argon =  0.25 = 1/4

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of the left bulb = 3.0 L of Neon

Pressure of the left bulb = 2.0 atm

Volume of the right bulb = 2.0 L of argon

Pressure of the right bulb = 1.0 atm

Temperature = 25°C

Step 2: Calculate nimber of moles

Via the ideal gas law P*V = n*R*T

n = P*V / R*T

nNeon = (2*3)/ (0/08206* 298)

nNeon : 6/ 24.45 = 0.245

nArgon = (1*2)/(0/08206*298)

nArgon = 2/24.45 = 0.0818

nTotal = nNeon + nArgon = 0.245 + 0.0818 = 0.3268

Step 3: Calculate mole fraction

Mole fraction of Neon = 0.245 / 0.3268 = 0.75 = 3/4

Mole fraction of Argon = 0.0818 / 0.3268 = 0.25 = 1/4

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
