The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the ideal gas law and the relationship between mass, pressure, and volume during isothermal expansion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: - We have two identical containers A and B with ideal gases. - Mass of gas in container A is \( m_1 \) and in container B is \( m_2 \). - The relationship between the masses is given as \( 2m_1 = 3m_2 \). 2. **Expressing Masses**: - From the relationship \( 2m_1 = 3m_2 \), we can express \( m_2 \) in terms of \( m_1 \): \[ m_2 = \frac{2}{3} m_1 \] 3. **Using the Ideal Gas Law**: - The ideal gas law states that \( PV = nRT \), where \( n \) is the number of moles. - The number of moles \( n \) can be expressed as \( n = \frac{m}{M} \), where \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas. - For container A: \[ P_1 V = \frac{m_1}{M} RT \implies P_1 = \frac{m_1 RT}{MV} \] - For container B: \[ P_2 V = \frac{m_2}{M} RT \implies P_2 = \frac{m_2 RT}{MV} \] 4. **Calculating the Initial Pressures**: - Substitute \( m_2 = \frac{2}{3} m_1 \) into the equation for \( P_2 \): \[ P_2 = \frac{\left(\frac{2}{3} m_1\right) RT}{MV} = \frac{2m_1 RT}{3MV} \] 5. **Calculating Change in Pressure for Container A**: - The gas in container A expands isothermally to double its volume: \[ P_1' = \frac{m_1 RT}{2MV} \] - The change in pressure for container A is: \[ \Delta P_A = P_1 - P_1' = \frac{m_1 RT}{MV} - \frac{m_1 RT}{2MV} = \frac{m_1 RT}{MV} \left(1 - \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{m_1 RT}{2MV} \] 6. **Given Change in Pressure for Container A**: - We know \( \Delta P_A = 300 \, \text{Pa} \): \[ \frac{m_1 RT}{2MV} = 300 \] 7. **Calculating Change in Pressure for Container B**: - The gas in container B also expands isothermally to double its volume: \[ P_2' = \frac{m_2 RT}{2MV} \] - The change in pressure for container B is: \[ \Delta P_B = P_2 - P_2' = \frac{2m_1 RT}{3MV} - \frac{m_2 RT}{2MV} \] - Substitute \( m_2 = \frac{2}{3} m_1 \): \[ \Delta P_B = \frac{2m_1 RT}{3MV} - \frac{\left(\frac{2}{3} m_1\right) RT}{2MV} = \frac{2m_1 RT}{3MV} - \frac{m_1 RT}{3MV} = \frac{m_1 RT}{3MV} \] 8. **Relating Changes in Pressure**: - From the previous steps, we have: \[ \Delta P_B = \frac{m_1 RT}{3MV} \] - We can relate \( \Delta P_B \) to \( \Delta P_A \): \[ \Delta P_B = \frac{1}{3} \Delta P_A = \frac{1}{3} \times 300 = 100 \, \text{Pa} \] ### Final Answer: The change in pressure in container B is \( 100 \, \text{Pa} \).
