Two containers C₁ and C₂ of volumes V and 4 V respectively hold the same ideal gas and are connected by a thin horizontal tube of negligible volume with a valve which is initially closed. The initial temperature and pressure of the gas in C₁ are 300 K and P , respectively and those in C₂ are 400 K and 5 P , respectively. Heaters are employed to maintain the temperatures in both the containers at their initial values
Options
- Athe gas will flow from one container to the other but the entropy of the system remains constant.
- Bthe gas will flow from the hot container to the cold one and the process is irreversible.
- Cthere will be an increase in pressure of the cold container and decrease of the hot one.
- Dat equilibrium the number of moles of gas in the hot container will be thrice that of the cold one.
Correct answer
D. at equilibrium the number of moles of gas in the hot container will be thrice that of the cold one.
