1 mole of H2 gas is contained in a box of volume V = 1.00 m3 at T1 = 300 K and the gas is heated to a temperature of T2 = 3000 K and the gas gets converted into a gas of hydrogen atoms. The final pressure would be (considering all gases to be ideal) :
|
same as the pressure initially 2 times the pressure initially 10 times the pressure initially 20 times the pressure initially |
20 times the pressure initially |
When the molecules break into atoms, the number of moles would become twice. Now, by ideal gas equation : P = pressure of gas, n = number of moles R = gas constant, T = temperature We have pV = nRT As volume (V) of the container is constant. As gases break, number of moles becomes twice of initial number, so n2 = 2 n1 So, \(p \propto nT\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{p_2}{p_1} = \frac{n_2 T_2}{n_1 T_1} = \frac{2n_1*3000}{n_1* 3000} = 20\) \(\Rightarrow p_2 = 20 p_1\) Hence, final pressure of the gas would be 20times the pressure initially. |
