    A cylinder contains \[10\,\,kg\] of gas at pressure of\[107N/{{m}^{2}}\]. The quantity of gas taken out of the cylinder, if final pressure is\[2.5\times {{10}^{6}}N/{{m}^{2}}\], will be (temperature of gas is constant):

    A) \[15.2\,\,kg\]                    

    B) \[3.7\,\,kg\]

    C) \[zero\]                                               

    D) \[7.5\,\,kg\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Initial mass of the gas\[{{m}_{1}}=10\,\,kg\] Initial pressure\[{{P}_{1}}=10\,\,N/{{m}^{2}}\] Final pressure\[{{P}_{2}}=2.5\times {{10}^{6}}N/{{m}^{2}}\] According to kinetic theory of gases                 \[PV=\frac{1}{3}m{{c}^{2}}\] or            \[P\propto m\] Hence,  \[\frac{{{P}_{1}}}{{{P}_{2}}}=\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}\] or            \[\frac{{{10}^{7}}}{2.5\times {{10}^{6}}}=\frac{10}{{{m}_{2}}}\] or            \[{{m}_{2}}=2.5\,\,kg\] Hence, quantity of gas taken out from the cylinder is\[10-2.5=7.5\,\,kg\]
