A closed vessel with rigid walls contains 1 mol of U92238 and 1 mol of air at 298 K. Considering complete decay of U92238 to Pb82206 , the ratio of the final pressure to the initial pressure of the system at 298 K is

  1. A 3
  2. B 6
  3. C 9
  4. D 12
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial moles of gases = 1
\({ }_{92}^{238}\text U \rightarrow{ }_{82}^{206} \text{Pb}+8_2^4 \text{He} +6_{-1}\text e ^0\)
Initial moles \(\quad 1\) moles
Moles after decomposition \(\quad8\) mole
Total gaseous moles after decomposition =8+1=9 moles
Ratio of pressures, PfPi=nfni=9
