The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving two identical containers A and B containing the same ideal gas, and derive the relationship between the masses of the gases in each container based on the given conditions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Conditions**: - Both containers A and B contain the same ideal gas at the same initial temperature \( T \) and volume \( V \). - Let the mass of the gas in container A be \( m_A \) and in container B be \( m_B \). 2. **Applying the Ideal Gas Law**: - For container A: \[ P_A V = \frac{m_A}{M} RT \quad \text{(1)} \] - For container B: \[ P_B V = \frac{m_B}{M} RT \quad \text{(2)} \] - Here, \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas, \( R \) is the universal gas constant, and \( P_A \) and \( P_B \) are the initial pressures in containers A and B, respectively. 3. **Final Conditions After Isothermal Expansion**: - Both gases expand isothermally to a final volume of \( 2V \). - For container A: \[ P_A' (2V) = \frac{m_A}{M} RT \quad \text{(3)} \] - For container B: \[ P_B' (2V) = \frac{m_B}{M} RT \quad \text{(4)} \] - Here, \( P_A' \) and \( P_B' \) are the final pressures in containers A and B, respectively. 4. **Calculating the Change in Pressure**: - The change in pressure for container A is given as \( \Delta P = P_A' - P_A \). - From equations (1) and (3): \[ \Delta P = \frac{m_A}{MRT} \cdot \frac{1}{2V} - \frac{m_A}{MRT} \cdot \frac{1}{V} = \frac{m_A}{MRT} \left( \frac{1}{2V} - \frac{1}{V} \right) = -\frac{m_A}{2MRTV} \] - Therefore, we have: \[ \Delta P = -\frac{m_A}{2MRTV} \] 5. **For Container B**: - The change in pressure for container B is given as \( 1.5 \Delta P \). - From equations (2) and (4): \[ 1.5 \Delta P = P_B' - P_B = \frac{m_B}{MRT} \cdot \frac{1}{2V} - \frac{m_B}{MRT} \cdot \frac{1}{V} = \frac{m_B}{MRT} \left( \frac{1}{2V} - \frac{1}{V} \right) = -\frac{m_B}{2MRTV} \] - Therefore, we have: \[ 1.5 \Delta P = -\frac{m_B}{2MRTV} \] 6. **Setting Up the Equation**: - Since we have \( \Delta P \) for A and \( 1.5 \Delta P \) for B, we can set up the equation: \[ -\frac{m_B}{2MRTV} = 1.5 \left( -\frac{m_A}{2MRTV} \right) \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ m_B = 1.5 m_A \] 7. **Final Relationship**: - Rearranging gives: \[ 3m_A = 2m_B \] ### Conclusion: From the calculations, we find that the relationship between the masses of the gases in containers A and B is: \[ 3m_A = 2m_B \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving two identical containers A and B containing the same ideal gas, and derive the relationship between the masses of the gases in each container based on the given conditions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Conditions**: - Both containers A and B contain the same ideal gas at the same initial temperature \( T \) and volume \( V \). - Let the mass of the gas in container A be \( m_A \) and in container B be \( m_B \). ...
