Question
Two vessels A and B are filled with the same gas where the volume, temperature, and pressure in vessel A is twice the volume, temperature, and pressure in vessel B. Calculate the ratio of the number of molecules of the gas in vessel A to that in vessel B.

Solution
Data: VA = 2VB, TA = 2TB, PA = 2PB
PV = nRT
or PV = NkBT
Find: `"N"_"A"/"N"_"B"` = ?
∴ The number of molecules, N = `"PV"/("k"_"B""T")`
∴ NA = `("P"_"A""V"_"A")/("k"_"B""T"_"A")` and NB = `("P"_"B""V"_"B")/("k"_"B""T"_"B")`
∴ `"N"_"A"/"N"_"B" = ("P"_"A"/"P"_"B")("V"_"A"/"V"_"B")("T"_"B"/"T"_"A")`
∴ `"N"_"A"/"N"_"B" = ((2"P"_"B")/"P"_"B")((2"V"_"B")/"V"_"B")("T"_"B"/(2"T"_"B"))`
∴ `"N"_"A"/"N"_"B" = cancel(2) xx 2 xx 1/cancel(2)`
∴ `"N"_"A"/"N"_"B" = 2/1`
∴ `"N"_"A"/"N"_"B"` = 2 : 1
This is the required ratio.

Figure shows a cylindrical tube of radius 5 cm and length 20 cm. It is closed by a tight-fitting cork. The friction coefficient between the cork and the tube is 0.20. The tube contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 300 K. The tube is slowly heated and it is found that the cork pops out when the temperature reaches 600 K. Let dN denote the magnitude of the normal contact force exerted by a small length dlof the cork along the periphery (see the figure). Assuming that the temperature of the gas is uniform at any instant, calculate `(dN)/(dt)`.
