Answer:
The final pressure in the chamber is 5 atm.
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is:
2 N₂ (g) + O₂ (g) ⇒ 2 N₂O (g)
Initially, we have 4.00 atm of N₂ gas and 3.00 atm of O₂ gas. These are the partial pressures of each gas.
Nitrogen is the limiting reactant because it gives the fewest moles of reaction.
The initial state of the reaction is: 4.00 atm of N₂ gas and 3.00 atm of O₂
During the reaction, 4 atm of N₂ and 2 atm of O₂ are consumed to form 4 atm of N₂O
Finally, 1 atm of O₂ and 4 atm of N₂O remain

Total Pressure of the chamber:
[tex]P_T=P_{O_2}+P_{N_2O}[/tex]= 1 atm + 4 atm=5 atm
The final pressure in the chamber is 5 atm.
