A gas at pressure P ₀ is contained in a vessel. If the masses of all the molecules are halved and their velocities are doubled, the resulting pressure would be equal to
Options
- A4 P ₀
- B2 P ₀
- CP ₀
- DP₀ 2
Correct answer
B. 2 P ₀
Step-by-step solution
The pressure is given as P = 1 3 mN V v _ rms ^2 P mv _ ms ^2 P ₂ P ₁ = m ₂ v ₂^2 ~m ₁ v ₁^2 P ₂ P ₁ = m ₁ 2 (2 v ₁ )^2 ~m ₁ v ₁^2 =2 P ₂=2 P ₀ ( P ₁= P ₀ )
