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 Nâ‚‚ gas and 3.00 atm of Oâ‚‚ 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 Nâ‚‚ gas and 3.00 atm of Oâ‚‚
During the reaction, 4 atm of Nâ‚‚ and 2 atm of Oâ‚‚ are consumed to form 4 atm of Nâ‚‚O
Finally, 1 atm of Oâ‚‚ and 4 atm of Nâ‚‚O 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.
