1 mole of H2 gas is contained in a box of volume V=1.00 m3 at T1 = 300 K. The gas is heated to a temperature of T2 = 3000 K and the gas gets converted into a gas of hydrogen atoms. The final pressure would be (considering all gases to be ideal)

a
same as the pressure initially
b
2 times the pressure initially
c
10 times the pressure initially
d
20 times the pressure initially

detailed solution

Correct option is D

When the molecules break into atoms, the number of moles would become twice.Now, by ideal gas equationP = Pressure of gas,n = Number of molesR Gas constant,T TemperatureWe have pV= nRTAs volume (V) of the container is constant.As gases break, number of moles becomes twice of initial number.so n2=2n1So p∝nT⇒ p2p1=n2T2n1T1=2n1(3000)n1(300)=20⇒ p2=20p1Hence, final pressure of the gas would be 20 times the pressure initially.

Two identical containers A and B have frictionless pistons. They contain the same volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature. The mass of the gas in A is mA and that in B is mB. The gas in each cylinder is now allowed to expand isothermally to double the initial volume. The change in the pressure in A and B, respectively, is p and 1.5 p. Then
