At room temperature, the following reaction proceeds nearly to completion:  `2NO+O_(2)to2NO_(2)toN_(2)O_(4)`  The dimer, `N_(2)O_(4)`, solidfies at `262 K`. A `250 mL` flask and a `100 mL` flask are separated by a stopcock. At `300 K`, the nitric oxide in the larger flask exerts a pressure of `1.053 atm` and the smaller one contains oxygen at `0.789 atm`. The gase are mixed by opening the stopcock and after the end of the reaction the flasks are cooled to `220 K`. Neglecting the vapour pressure of the dimer, find out the pressure and composition of the gas remaining at `220 K`. (Assume the gases to behave ideally)
