1 L of N_2_ gas, having a pressure of 2.5 atm, is added 1 L of Ar gas, having a pressure of 3.7 atm, in a sealed, rigid flask. What is the final pressure in the flask?

The final pressure in the flask would be 6.2 atm, because the total amount of gas and the total volume of the flask remain constant. This means that the pressure will have to increase in order to keep the volume the same, as more and more gases fill the flask. Therefore, the total pressure of 6.2 atm is due to the addition of 1 L of Ar gas and 1 L of N_2_ gas, and the pressure of both gases added together.
