A cylinder of V litre capacity contains ammonia gas. This cylinder is ...
Explanation:
When a cylinder containing ammonia gas is inverted over another vessel containing hydrogen chloride, a chemical reaction occurs between the two gases. This reaction is known as the ammonium chloride formation reaction.
The chemical equation for this reaction is as follows:
NH3(g) + HCl(g) → NH4Cl(s)
Initial State:
- The cylinder contains ammonia gas (NH3) and has a volume V.
- The vessel contains hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) and also has a volume V.
- The temperature and pressure are the same in both the cylinder and the vessel.
Reaction:
- When the two gases come into contact, they react to form solid ammonium chloride (NH4Cl).
- The reaction consumes both gases and reduces their volume.
- As a result, the pressure in the cylinder decreases.
Explanation:
- Initially, the pressure in the cylinder and the vessel is the same because they have the same temperature and contain ideal gases.
- However, as the reaction progresses and the gases are consumed, the volume of the system decreases.
- According to Boyle's Law, when the volume of a gas decreases at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas increases.
- Therefore, the pressure in the cylinder will increase as the reaction progresses.
Final State:
- After some time, the reaction will consume all the ammonia and hydrogen chloride gases, and the volume of the system will be reduced.
- As a result, the pressure in the cylinder will be higher than the initial pressure.
- Therefore, the correct option is D: The pressure will drop.
