MCQ
A vessel $A$  volume $V$ and a vessel $B$ has volume $2V.$ Both contain some water which has a constant volume. The pressure in the space above water is $p_a$ for veesel $A$ and $p_b$ for vessel $B.$
  • $\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{b}}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{a}}=2\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{b}}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{b}}=2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{a}}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{b}}=4 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{a}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{b}}$
The maximum pressure attainable above the water will be saturated vapour pressure at that temperature. Since saturated vapour pressure does not depend upon volume, both the vessels will have same pressure.

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initikl thermodynamic state at pressure $P_i=10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$ and volume $V_i=10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3$ chanıes to i final state at $P_f=(1 / 32) \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$ and $V_f=8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3$ in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that $P^3 V^5=$ constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at $P$, followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volume $V_f$.
