A container has two chambers of volumes V_1 = 2 litres and V_2 = 3 litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contains n_1 = 5 and n_2 = 4 moles of ideal gas at pressures p_1 = 1 atm and p_2 = 2 atm, respectively. When…
A container has two chambers of volumes \(V_1 = 2\) litres and \(V_2 = 3\) litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contains \(n_1 = 5\) and \(n_2 = 4\) moles of ideal gas at pressures \(p_1 = 1\) atm and \(p_2 = 2\) atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of :
1. 1.3 atm
2. 1.6 atm
3. 1.4 atm
4. 1.8 atm
