How can't gas cylinder be half- filled.

Open in App

Solution

Dear student, As we know gasses don't have any specific shape or volume and take the shape of the container in which they are kept . So even if we try to fill a gas cylinder partially , we won't be able to do that as the gas would expand ( due to very less intermolecular forces of attraction ) and fill up the whole cylinder.

A vertical hollow cylinder of height 1.52 m is fitted with a movable piston of negligible mass and thickness. The lower half portion of the cylinder contains an ideal gas and the upper half is filled with mercury. The cylinder is initially at 300 K. When the temperature is raised half of the mercury comes out of the cylinder. Then the temperature is (the thermal expansion of mercury to be negligible)
