Solution
The correct option is AP A box of 1L capacity is divided into two equal compartments by a thin partition which are filled with 2gH2 and 16gCH4 respectively.
The pressure in each compartment is recorded as Patm. The total pressure when the partition is removed will be P
In both the compartments, the volume, temperature, number of moles and pressure are the same. When the partition is removed, the number of moles and the volume are doubled at a constant temperature, the pressure remains constant. PV=nRT
