Question

Two identical cylinders, A and B, contain the same type of gas at the same pressure. Cylinder A has twice as much gas as cylinder B. Which is true? Two identical cylinders, A and B, contain the same type of gas at the same pressure. Cylinder A has twice as much gas as cylinder B. Which is true? TA > TB TA < TB TA = TB Not enough information to make a comparison.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas law equation for any gas is as follows .

PV = nRT ( for n moles of gas )

Let the pressure , volume , temperature and mole of gas in cylinder A be P,V

T₁ and 2n . Pressure , volume , temperature and mole in cylinder B will be

P , V , T₂ and n.

Applying Gas laws , we get

For gas in cylinder A

PV = 2n R T₁

For gas in cylinder B

PV = n R T₂

Equating these equations , we get

2n R T₁ = n R T₂

2 T₁ = T₂

or,

`2T_A =T_B`

`T_A` is less than
`T_B`
