The following figure shows three 1.00-L bulbs connected by valves. Each bulb contains neon gas with amounts proportional to the number of atoms pictorially represented in each chamber. All three bulbs are maintained at the same temperature. Unless stated otherwise, assume that the valves connecting the bulbs are closed and seal the gases in their respective bulbs. Assume also that the volume between bulbs is negligible.

(a) Which bulb has the lowest pressure?

(b) If the pressure in bulb A is 2.00 atm, what is the pressure in bulb C?

(c) If the pressure in bulb A is 2.00 atm, what is the sum of PA + PB + PC?

(d) If the pressure in bulb A is 2.00 atm and the valve between bulbs A and B is opened, redraw the above figure to accurately represent the gas atoms in all the bulbs. What is PA + PB? What is PA + PB + PC? Compare your answer with your answer in part (c).

(e) Follow the same instructions as in (d) if all the valves are open.
