    A cylinder of 5 litre capacity, filled with air at N.T.P. is connected with another evacuated cylinder of 30 litres of capacity the resultant air pressure in both the cylinders will be:

    A)  38.85 cm of Hg

    B)  21.85 cm of Hg

    C)  10.85 cm of Hg

    D)  14.85 cm of Hg

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Volume of first cylinde \[{{V}_{1}}=5\] litres Volume of second cylinder \[{{V}_{2}}=30\] litre Hence, total volume \[{{V}_{2}}={{V}_{1}}+{{V}_{2}}=5+30=35\] litre The initial pressure \[{{p}_{1}}\] at NTP \[{{p}_{1}}=76cm\] of Hg Now from the Boyles law, \[{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}={{P}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}\] Hence \[{{p}_{2}}=\left( \frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{2}}} \right){{p}_{1}}\] \[=\frac{5}{35}\times 76=10.85cm\]of Hg
