QJEEM21Che6ff: JEE Main 2021 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM21Che6ff Solution: An empty LPG cylinder weighs 14.8 kg. When full, it weighs 29.0 …
An empty LPG cylinder weighs 14.8 kg. When full, it weighs 29.0 kg and shows a pressure of 3.47 atm. In the course of use at ambient temperature, the mass of the cylinder is reduced to 23.0 kg. The final pressure inside of the cylinder is _________ atm. (Nearest integer)
(Assume LPG of be an ideal gas)
(Assume LPG of be an ideal gas)
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Weight of empty LPG cylinder = 14.8 kg
Weight of full LPG cylinder = 29 kg
Weight of gas = 29 14.8 = 14.2 kg
If weight of full LPG cylinder = 23 kg
then weight of gas used = 29 23 = 6 kg at ambient temperature.
From ideal gas equation, pV = nRT
or
or
Applying ideal gas to LPG cylinder when gas is full,
.... (i)
Applying ideal gas to LPG cylinder when gas is reduced to 23 kg at ambient temperture,
.... (ii)
Divide Eq. (i) by (ii)
atm
Hence, answer is 2.
