There are two vessels A and B with rigid walls containing ideal gases. The pressure, temperature and volume are , and V in the vessel A and , and V in vessel B. The vessels are now connected through a small tube. In equilibrium, pressure is P and temperature is T, then is {number of moles of gas in vessel A = number of moles of gas in vessel B}
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Using the ideal gas equation, the initial number of moles in vessel A is:
The initial number of moles in vessel B is:
When the vessels are connected, the total volume becomes . Let the equilibrium pressure be and the equilibrium temperature be . The total number of moles in the system remains conserved:
Dividing the entire equation by :
Answer: \dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{P_A}{T_A}+\dfrac{P_B}{T_B}\right)
The initial number of moles in vessel B is:
When the vessels are connected, the total volume becomes . Let the equilibrium pressure be and the equilibrium temperature be . The total number of moles in the system remains conserved:
Dividing the entire equation by :
Answer: \dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{P_A}{T_A}+\dfrac{P_B}{T_B}\right)
