Solution
The correct option is B Will remain unchanged in A and B A vessel has two equal compartments A and B containing H2 and O2 respectively, each at 1atm pressure. If the wall separating the compartment is removed, the pressure will remain unchanged in A and B. In both the compartments, the volume, temperature and pressure are same. Hence, the number of moles of hydrogen and oxygen are equal. When the number of moles and the volume are doubled at constant temperature, the pressure remains constant. PV=nRT
