A vessel is filled with a gas at a pressure of 76 cm of mercury at a certain temperature. The mass of the gas is increased by 50 % by introducing more gas in the vessel at the same temperature. The resultant pressure, in cm of Hg, is -
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
P ∝ m
Since m is increased by a factor of 
,
therefore, P will increase by a factor of 
.
∴ New pressure = 
× 76 cm of Hg = 114 cm of Hg.
