Question

Two closed vessels of same volume are joined through a narrow tube and both vessels are filled with air of pressure 90 kPa and temperature 400 K . Keeping the temperature of one vessel constant at 400 K the second vessel temperature is raised to 500 K . The final pressure in the vessels is

$\_\_\_\_$ kPa .

Options

A.100
B.120
C.90
D.105

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Conserve moles: $\frac{2P_{0}V}{{RT}_{0}} = \frac{PV}{{RT}_{0}} + \frac{PV}{{RT}_{1}}$ with $T_{0} = 400,\ T_{1} = 500$ K; solve for the final $P$.]

Using mole conservation

$${\frac{2 \times 9 \times 10^{4} \times V}{R \times 400} = \frac{P \times V}{R \times 400} + \frac{P \times V}{R \times 500} }{P = 100kPa }$$
