Question

1 mole of H2 gas is contained in a box of volume V=1.00 m3 at T=300 K. The gas is heated to a temperature of T=3000 K and the gas gets converted to a gas of hydrogen atoms. The final pressure would be (considering all gases to be ideal)

Solution

The correct option is D 20 times the pressure initially.
As we know, ideal gas equation is given by
PV=nRT

From the given equation, we get

PnT= constant

(Since the volume of the box remains same no matter which gas is present)

Therefore,
P1n1T1=P2n2T2

Now,
P2P1=n2T2n1T1

Given:

T2=3000 K T1=300 K

Since H2 splits into hydrogen atoms, therefore number of moles becomes twice the original.

P2P1=2n1n1×3000300

P2P1=20

P2=20 P1

Final Answer: (𝑑).
