Heliox is a helium-oxygen mixture that may be used in scuba tanks for divers working at great depths. It is also used medically as a breathing treatment. A 6.25-L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1391 psi. A second 6.25-L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 369.8 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 6.25-L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture in the tank? Assume ideal gas behavior.

Acetylene torches are used for welding. These torches use a mixture of acetylene gas, C2H2, and oxygen gas, O2 to produce the following combustion reaction: 2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)â4CO2(g)+2H2O(g) Part A Imagine that you have a 7.00 L gas tank and a 2.50 L gas tank. You need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylene to use in conjunction with your welding torch. If you fill the larger tank with oxygen to a pressure of 155 atm , to what pressure should you fill the acetylene tank to ensure that you run out of each gas at the same time? Assume ideal behavior for all gases.

Imagine that you have a 5.50 L gas tank and a 2.50 L gas tank. You need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylene to use in conjunction with your welding torch. If you fill the larger tank with oxygen to a pressure of 125 atm , to what pressure should you fill the acetylene tank to ensure that you run out of each gas at the same time?
