  • question_answer
    A cylinder of capacity 20 L is filled with H2 gas. The total average kinetic energy of translator motion of its molecules is \[1.5\,\times {{10}^{5}}J\]. The pressure of hydrogen in the cylinder is

    A)  \[2\times {{10}^{6}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]       

    B)  \[3\times {{10}^{6}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[4\times {{10}^{6}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]       

    D)  \[5\times {{10}^{6}}\,N/m\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The average kinetic energy of gas molecules                 \[E=\frac{3}{2}pV\] So, the pressure of hydrogen in the cylinder                 \[p=\frac{2E}{3V}=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1.52\times {{10}^{5}}}{20\times {{10}^{-3}}}\]                     \[=\frac{{{10}^{5}}}{20\times {{10}^{-3}}}=5\times {{10}^{6}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]
