Two chambers containing m1 gm_1 \mathrm{~g} and m2 gm_2 \mathrm{~g} of a gas at pressures P1P_1 and P2P_2 respectively are put in communication with each other, temperature remaining constant. The common pressure reached will be

Options

  1. A\frac{P_1 P_2\left(m_1+m_2\right)}{\left(P_2 m_1+P_1 m_2\right)}
  2. BP1P2m1P2m1+P1m2\frac{P_1 P_2 m_1}{P_2 m_1+P_1 m_2}
  3. Cm1m2(P1+P2)P2m1+P1m2\frac{m_1 m_2\left(P_1+P_2\right)}{P_2 m_1+P_1 m_2}
  4. Dm1m2P2P2m1+P1m2\frac{m_1 m_2 P_2}{P_2 m_1+P_1 m_2}

Correct answer

A. \frac{P_1 P_2\left(m_1+m_2\right)}{\left(P_2 m_1+P_1 m_2\right)}

Step-by-step solution

According to Boyle'slaw, PV=kP V=k (a constant) or Pmρ=kP \frac{m}{\rho}=k or ρ=Pmk\rho=\frac{P m}{k} (∵V=mρ)\left(\because V=\frac{m}{\rho}\right)\rho=\frac{P}{K} \left(\because \frac{k}{m}=K\right.aconstanta constant)So,So,\rho_1=\frac{P_1}{K}andandV_1=\frac{m_1}{\rho_1}=\frac{m_1}{P_1 / K}=\frac{K m_1}{P_1}Similarly,Similarly,V_2=\frac{K m_2}{P_2} \therefore \quadTotalvolumeTotal volume=V_1+V_2=K\left(\frac{m_1}{P_1}+\frac{m_2}{P_2}\right)LetLetPbethecommonpressureandbe the common pressure and\rhobethecommondensityofmixture.Thenbe the common density of mixture. Thenρ=m1+m2V1+V2=m1+m2K(m1P1+m2P2)∴P=Kρ=m1+m2m1P1+m2P2=P1P2(m1+m2)(m1P2+m2P1)\begin{aligned} & \rho=\frac{m_1+m_2}{V_1+V_2}=\frac{m_1+m_2}{K\left(\frac{m_1}{P_1}+\frac{m_2}{P_2}\right)} \\ \therefore \quad P & =K \rho=\frac{m_1+m_2}{\frac{m_1}{P_1}+\frac{m_2}{P_2}}=\frac{P_1 P_2\left(m_1+m_2\right)}{\left(m_1 P_2+m_2 P_1\right)}\end{aligned}$
