Problem

Two rigid containers are connected by a valve. Container A has a volume of

2.0\,\text{L}

and a pressure of

300\,\text{kPa}

. Container B has a volume of

3.0\,\text{L}

and a pressure of

100\,\text{kPa}

. Both containers hold the same ideal gas at

25^{\circ}\text{C}

. The valve is opened and the partition between them is removed while the temperature remains constant. Determine the final uniform pressure of the gas.
