Two gas bulbs A and B are connected by a tube having a stop cock. Bulb A has a volume of 100 ml and contains H2 . After stopcock is opened, H2 from A travels to evacuated bulb B and the pressure falls to 40%. The volume of B in ml is –
150 ml
Let PA = 1 atm PB = 0 atm
VA = 100 ml VB = ?
Applying Dalton’s Law of partial pressure ;
PAVA+PBVB=Ptotal(VA+VB)[(1)(100)]+[0×VB]=0.4(100+VB)VB=150 ml
