    In the given figure container A holds an ideal gas at a pressure of \[50\times {{10}^{5}}\] Pa and a temperature of 300 K. It is connected by a thin tube (and a closed) container B, with four times the volume of A. Container B holds same at a pressure of \[1.0\times {{10}^{5}}\] Pa and a temperature of 400 K. The valve is open allow the pressures to equalize, but the temperature of each container constant at its initial value. The final pressure in the two containers will be to

    A)  \[1.5\times {{10}^{5}}\] Pa        

    B)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{5}}\] Pa

    C)  \[2.1\times {{10}^{5}}\] Pa        

    D)  \[3.5\times {{10}^{5}}\] Pa

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    From ideal gas law For container A,                 \[{{n}_{1}}=\frac{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}{R{{T}_{1}}}\] For container B,                 \[{{n}_{2}}=\frac{{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{R{{T}_{2}}}\] After opening the value, x moles of gas stream from container A to container B such that both container equalize at pressure p. Number of moles in container A has changed to \[{{n}_{1}}-x,\,i.e.,\]                 \[({{n}_{1}}-x)=\frac{p\,.\,{{V}_{1}}}{R\,.\,{{T}_{1}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[x={{n}_{1}}=\frac{p\,.\,{{V}_{1}}}{R\,.\,{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{({{p}_{1}}-p)\,.\,{{V}_{1}}}{R\,.\,{{T}_{1}}}\]                  ?. (i) Number of moles in container 6 has changed to \[{{n}_{2}}+x\], therefore                 \[({{n}_{2}}+x)=\frac{{{p}_{2}}\,.\,{{V}_{2}}}{R\,.\,{{T}_{2}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[x=\frac{p\,.\,{{V}_{2}}}{R\,.\,{{T}_{2}}}-{{n}_{2}}=\frac{(p-{{p}_{z}}){{V}_{2}}}{R\,.\,{{T}_{2}}}\]                .... (ii) Equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[\frac{({{p}_{1}}-p)\,.\,{{V}_{1}}}{R\,.\,{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{(p-{{p}_{2}})\,.\,{{V}_{2}}}{R\,.\,{{T}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[({{p}_{1}}-p)=(p-{{p}_{2}})\,.\,\left( \frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}} \right)\,.\,\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}} \right)\]           The pressure changes in the two containers are proportional                 \[({{p}_{1}}-p)=(p-{{p}_{2}})\,.K\] with \[K=\left( \frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}} \right)\,.\,\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}} \right)=4\,\left( \frac{300}{400} \right)=3\]                 \[p=\frac{{{p}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}}\,.\,K}{1+K}=\frac{5\times {{10}^{5}}+1\times {{10}^{5}}}{1+3}\]                 \[=\frac{6\times {{10}^{5}}}{4}=1.5\times {{10}^{5}}Pa\]
