The masses, volumes and pressures of two samples of oxygen and hydrogen gases are equal.Find the ratio of their absolute temperatures.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

let the volume of each gas =V the pressure of each gas=p the absolute temperatures of the gases be `T_1` and `T_2` respectively. IF the mass of each sample is mg, then number of moles of the gases are respectively.
`n_1=m/32 and n_2=m/2`.
As per the equation pV=nRT
for oxygen gas,`pV=m/32RT_1` and for hydrogen gas, `pV=m/2RT_2`
`therefore m/32 RT_1=m/2RT_2 or, T_1/T_2=32/2=16:1`.
