Q.

As shown schematically in the figure, two vessels contain water solutions (at temperature 𝑇) of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) of different concentrations 𝑛1 and 𝑛2 (𝑛1 > 𝑛2) molecules per unit volume with Δn=n1n2n1 . . When they are connected by a tube of small length  and cross-sectional area S, KMnO4 starts to diffuse from the left to the right vessel through the tube. Consider the collection of molecules to behave as dilute ideal gases and the difference in their partial pressure in the two vessels causing the diffusion. The speed v of the molecules is limited by the viscous force βv on each molecule, where β is a constant. Neglecting all terms of the order (Δn)2, which of the following is/are correct? (𝑘𝐵 is the Boltzmann constant)-

a

rate of molecules getting transferred through the tube does not change with time

b

total number of molecules going across the tube per sec is ΔnkBTβS

c

 force balance implies n1βv=ΔnkBT

d

the force causing the molecules to move across the tube is ΔnkBTS

answer is A, B, C.

Detailed Solution

PV=NkBTP=NVkBT=nkBT

n1>>n1n2=Δn F=P1-P2S=n1n2kBTS=ΔnkBTSOption (A) is correct.

Viscous Force = Total number of molecules ×βv=n1lSβv

If viscous force is balanced by pressure force, then 

ΔnkBTS=n1Sβvn1βv=ΔnkBT    Option (B) is correct.

 Total number of molecules per sec=n1vdtSdt=n1vS=ΔnkBTvSβv=ΔnkBTβS

Option (C) is correct.

As n will decrease with time therefore rate of molecules getting transfer decreases with time.

Option (D) is incorrect.
