Q.

Two vessels A and B are of the same size and are at same temperature. A contains 1 g of hydrogen and B contains 1 g of oxygen. PA and PB are the pressures of the gases in A and B respectively, then PA/PB is                   [2024]

1 16  
2 8  
3 4  
4 32  

Ans.

(1)    

          Ideal gas equation, PAVA=nARTA

          and PBVB=nBRTB

         from (i) and (ii), PAVAPBVB=nARTAnBRTB

        Given VA=VB and TA=TB

         PAPB=nAnB=1/21/32=16
