Solution

The correct option is B 1.0412 Pa
W=2.303nRTlogP1P2logP1P2=W2.303nRT=1002.303×1×8.314×298=0.01753i.e.,logP1logP2=0.01753(The units in which P1 and P2 are expressed must be identical)logP2=0.01753logP1logP2=0.01753+logP1=0.01753+log1=0.01753+0logP2=0.01753P2=Antilog(0.01753)P2=1.0412Pa(Since unit of P1 is Pa)
