Two gases occupy two containers A and B the gas in A , of volume 0.10 ~m ³, exerts a pressure of 1.40 MPa and that in B of volume 0.15 ~m ³ exerts a pressure 0.7 MPa . The two containers are united by a tube of negligible volume and the gases are allowed to intermingle. Then if the temperature remains constant, the final pressure in the container will be (in MPa)
Options
- A0.7
- B0.98
- C1.4
- D210
Correct answer
B. 0.98
Step-by-step solution
We know that P _ A V _ A = n _ A RT , P _ B V _ B = n _ B RT array ll & and P_ f (V_ A +V_ B )= (n_ A +n_ B ) R T & P_ f (V_ A +V_ B )=P_ A V_ A +P_ B V_ B & P_ f = ( P_ A V_ A +P_ B V_ B V_ A +V_ B ) & = 1.4 0.1+0.7 0.15 0.1+0.15 MPa =0.98 MPa array
