Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 2]PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
In a vessel of volume 0.02 m ^3 , 2 g of hydrogen is sealed and maintained at 300 K . Determine the pressure inside the vessel.
Options
- A1.24 10^4 Pa
- B2.48 10^5 Pa
- C1.24 10^5 Pa
- D6.20 10^4 Pa
Correct answer
C. 1.24 10^5 Pa
Step-by-step solution
Volume V = 0.02 m ^3 Mass of hydrogen gas m = 2 g Molar mass of hydrogen gas M = 2 g/mol Number of moles n = m M = 2 2 = 1 mol Temperature T = 300 K Using the ideal gas equation PV = nRT P = nRT V Substituting the given values: P = 1 8.314 300 0.02 P = 1.247 10^5 Pa The closest value among the options is 1.24 10^5 Pa .
