JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3ce027

Solid is in equilibrium with and in a cylinder with a movable piston at constant temperature, with excess solid present. The volume is doubled and equilibrium is re-established. Compared with the original state, the pressure of and the amount of are

  1. Apressure halved, amount unchanged
  2. Bpressure halved, amount doubled
  3. Cpressure unchanged, amount unchanged
  4. Dpressure unchanged, amount doubled

Answer: D

is fixed at constant temperature, so the pressure returns to its original value. With the same pressure and double the volume, doubles; extra decomposes to supply it.
