In a vessel, the ideal gas is at a pressure P . If the mass of all the molecules is halved and their speed is doubled, then resultant pressure of the gas will be
A. 4 P
B. 2 P
C. P
D. P 2
Correct Option is (B)
We know,
v ms 2 = 3 PV Nm ⇒ P = 1 3 mN V v mms 2 ⇒ P ∝ v ms 2 ∴ P 2 P 1 = m 2 m 1 × [ v 2 v 1 ] 2 = ( m 1 2 ) m 1 [ 2 v 1 v 1 ] 2 … . . ( ∵ given m 2 = m 1 2 and v 2 = 2 v 1 )
P 2 P 1 = 2 ∴ P 2 = 2 P 1 = 2 P . . . . ( given P 1 = P )
