States of Matter - Result Question 64

####64. A closed vessel with rigid walls contains 1 mole of ${ } _{92}^{238} U$ and 1 mole of air at $298 K$. Considering complete decay of ${ } _{92}^{238} U$ to ${ } _{82}^{206} Pb$, the ratio of the final pressure to the initial pressure of the system at $298 K$ is

Answer:

Correct Answer: 64. (9)

Solution:

  1. ${ } _{92} U^{238} \longrightarrow{ } _{82} Pb^{206}+8{ } _2 He^{4}(g)+6{ } _{-1} \beta^{0}$

$n$ (gas) [Initial] $=1$ (air)

$n$ (gas) $[$ Final $]=8(He)+1$ (air) $=9$

$\Rightarrow$ At constant temperature and volume;

$$ \begin{aligned} p & \propto n . \ \text { So, } \quad \frac{p _f}{p _i} & =\frac{n _f}{n _i}=\frac{9}{1}=9 \end{aligned} $$
