A 2.01 L flask containing 2.31 g of helium gas (molar mass = 4.003 g/mol) is separated by a stopcock from a 3.16 L flask containing 3.08 g of fluorine gas (molar mass = 38 g/mol). After the stopcock is opened the total pressure is 625 mm Hg. What was the pressure (reported to three significant figures) of the helium before the stopcock was opened?

Question
what is the pressure
A 2.01 L flask containing 2.31 g of helium gas (molar mass = 4.003 g/mol) is separated by a stopcock from a 3.16 L
flask containing 3.08 g of fluorine gas (molar mass = 38 g/mol).
After the stopcock is opened the total pressure is 625 mm Hg.
What was the pressure (reported to three significant figures) of the helium before the stopcock was opened?
