(choose chapter or problem)

Three 1.0-L flasks, maintained at 308 K, are connected to each other with stopcocks. Initially, the stopcocks are closed. One of the flasks contains 1.0 atm of \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\); the second, 2.0 g of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\); and the third, 0.50 g of ethanol, \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{C}\). The vapor pressure of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) at 308 K is 42 mmHg, and that of ethanol is 102 mmHg. The stopcocks are then opened and the contents mix freely. What is the pressure?
