Equal molar quantities of oxygen and hydrogen gas were placed in container A under high pressure. A small portion of the mixture was allowed to effuse for a very short time into the vacuum in container B. Which of the following is true concerning partial pressures of the gases at the end of the experiment?

A

The partial pressure of hydrogen in container A is approximately four times as great as the partial pressure of oxygen in container A

(i) An adiabatic cylinder contains an ideal gas. It is fitted with a freely movable insulating piston. In one experiment the piston is pulled out very fast to double the volume of the gas. In another experiment starting from same initial state, the piston is pulled out very slowly to double the volume of the gas. At the end of which experiment the final pressure of the gas will be higher? (ii) An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston. In an experiment ‘A’ the gas is allowed to perform a work W (gt 0) on the surrounding during an isobaric process and thereafter the pressure of the gas is reduced isochorically to half the initial value. At the end of the experiment the temperature of the gas is T_(A) . In a different experiment ‘B’ the pressure of the gas is reduced to half in an isochoric process and then the gas performs a work W on the surrounding during an isobaric process. At the end of the experiment the gas temperature is T_(B) . Which is higher, T_(A) or T_(B) ?
