Solution

The correct option is A P
A box of 1L capacity is divided into two equal compartments by a thin partition which are filled with 2g H2 and 16g CH4 respectively.

The pressure in each compartment is recorded as P atm. 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

So, the correct option is A
