Question

Having trouble getting the correct answer on this problem. Ifsomeone could work it out step by step or explain it step by stepI'd greatly appreciate it.
A 19000 mL cylinder containing PF5 at apressure of 152.0 torr is connected by a valve to 850.0 mL cylindercontaining B5H11 at 76.00 torr pressure.Calculate the partial pressure (atm) ofB5H11 when the valve isopened.

Explanation / Answer

76.00torr *850.0mL =pB5H11 *(1900.0mL+850.0mL)                             pB5H11= ( 76.00torr *850.0mL) / (1900.0mL+850.0mL)                                          =  23.491torr                                         =   23.491torr *(1atm/760torr)                                         =   0.0309 atm
