The valve connecting a 2.00L bulb containing N2 at 530 torr and a 3.00L bulb containing O2 at 195 torr is opened. After equilibration, what is the total pressure, in atm, in the system? Assume the temperature remains constant.

Answer: 0.433atm

All I know is I need to use the formula: (P1)(V1) = (P2)(V2) but I can't seem to get the correct answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
