MCQ
Inside a cylinder having insulating walls and closed at ends is a movable piston, which divides the cylinder into two compartments. On one side of the piston is a mass $m$ of a gas and on the other side a mass $2 m$ of the same gas. What fraction of volume of the cylinder will be occupied by the larger mass of the gas when the piston is in equilibrium $?$ Consider that the movable piston is conducting so that the temperature is the same throughout
  • A
    $0.25$
  • B
    $0.33$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • $0.67$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$0.67$
d
From, $PV = \mu RT$

$P(V - {V_1}) = \frac{m}{M}RT$  $... (i)$

and $P{V_1} = \frac{{2m}}{M}RT$  $... (ii)$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{{{V_1}}}{V} = \frac{2}{3}$
