The pressure P , volume V and temperature T of a gas in the jar A and the other gas in the jar B is at pressure 2P , volume V/4 and temperature 2T , then the ratio of the number of molecules in the jar A and B will be
Options
- A1 : 1
- B1 : 2
- C2 : 1
- D4 : 1
Correct answer
D. 4 : 1
Step-by-step solution
Using the ideal gas equation, PV = NkT , where N is the number of molecules. For jar A: N_A = PV kT For jar B: N_B = P_B V_B k T_B = (2P)(V/4) k(2T) = PV/2 2kT = PV 4kT Ratio of number of molecules: N_A N_B = PV kT PV 4kT = 4 1 The ratio is 4 : 1 . Answer: 4 : 1
