Passage / Comprehension

A gas leaks from a container such that the rate of pressure drop, -dP/dt, obeys -dP/dt = k(P - Pₑₓₜ), where Pₑₓₜ is the constant outside pressure. An ideal gas is filled in a rigid cylinder of 5 l capacity at 39 atm and 300 K. The leak constant is k = 10⁻³ s⁻¹ and the outside pressure stays at 1 atm. (ln 38 = 3.6, ln 2 = 0.7)

What is the pressure of the gas in the cylinder after 1 h?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Integrating the leak law, P - 1 = (39 - 1)e-kt = 38e-0.001t. After t = 3600 s, kt = 3.6, so P - 1 = 38e-3.6 = 38/38 = 1 atm and P = 2 atm. Hence Ans (b).
