Correct answer: (a) 2
Explanation:
Given conditions
V1 = 16.4 L, V2 = 5 L
P1 = 1.5 atm, P2 = 4.1 atm
T1 = 273 + 27 = 300 K,
T2 = 273 + 227 = 500 K
Applying gas equation,
\(\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2V_2}\) = \(\frac{n_1T_1}{n_2T_2}\)
\(\frac{n_1}{n_2}\) = \(\frac{P_1V_1T_1}{P_2V_2T_2}\)
∴ \(\frac{1.5 \times 16.4 \times 500}{4.1 \times 5 \times 300}\) = \(\frac{2}{1}\)
