Options:

A) $ 2P _{A}=3P _{B} $

B) $ 3P _{A}=2P _{B} $

C) $ P _{A}=2P _{B} $

D) $ P _{A}=3P _{B} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ Z _{A}=\frac{P _{A}V _{A}}{nRT _{A}},Z _{B}=\frac{P _{B}V _{B}}{nRT _{B}} $

Given, $ T _{A}=T _{B} $ n = same $ V _{A}=2V _{B} $ $ Z _{A}=3Z _{B} $

Then, $ Z _{A}=\frac{P _{A}\times 2V _{B}}{nRT _{A}}=3Z _{B}=\frac{3P _{B}V _{B}}{nRT _{B}} $ $ P _{A}\times 2V _{B}=3P _{B}V _{B},2P _{A}=3P _{B} $
