Q17 / 118 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · States of Matter

One gram of hydrogen and 112 g of nitrogen are enclosed in two separate containers each of volume 5 L and at 27°C . If the pressure of the hydrogen is 1 atm, then the pressure of nitrogen would be

  • A
    16 atm
  • B
    12 atm
  • Correct answer
    C
    8 atm
  • D
    4 atm

Solution

Mol of H2=12 mol
Mol of N2=112 g28 gmol-1=4 mol
p1V=n1RT (Constant T and V)
p2V=n2RT
So p1p2=n1n2
i.e., 1 atmp2=12 mol4 mol
Hence, p2=8 atm.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
