Question

Two flasks I and II shown below are connected by a valve of negligible volume.

When the valve is opened, the final pressure of the system in bar is x×10-2. The value of x is (Integer answer)
[Assume : Ideal gas; 1 bar =105 Pa : Molar mass of N2=28.0 mol-1;R=8.31 J mol-1 K-1

Step-by-step explanation

Applying ; n-I+n-IIinitial =The final number of moles.

n-I and n-II are the number of moles of gas in each container.

Assuming the system attains a final temperature of T (such that 300<T<60)

Heat lost by N2 of container (I)|=| Heat gained by N2 of container II|}

n-ICm300-T)=n-IICm(T-60)

2.828(300-T)=0.228( T-60)

14(300-T)=T-60

(14×300+60)15=T

T=284 K (final temperature)

If the final pressure =P

nfinal =3.028

PRTVI+VII=3.0gm28gm/mol

P=328 mol×8.31Jmol-K×284 K3×10-3 m3×105barPa
