QJEEM22Ch2aa5: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM22Ch2aa5 Solution: An evacuated glass vessel weighs 40.0 g when empty, 135.0 g…

An evacuated glass vessel weighs 40.0 g when empty, 135.0 g when filled with a liquid of density 0.95 g mL−1 and 40.5 g when filled with an ideal gas at 0.82 atm at 250 K. The molar mass of the gas in g mol−1 is :

(Given : R = 0.082 L atm K−1 mol−1)

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 35
  • B 50
  • C 75
  • D 125

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Weight of empty glass vessel = 40 gm

Weight of glass vessel filled with liquid = 135 gm

∴ Weight of liquid = 135 − 40 = 95 gm

Given density of liquid = 0.95 gm ml−1

∴ Volume of liquid =950.95=100 ml

Weight of glass filled with ideal gas = 40.5 gm

∴ Weight of gas = 40.5 − 40 = 0.5 g

Let the Molar mass = M

∴ Moles of gas =0.5M

∴ Now applying ideal gas equation,

pV = nRT

⇒0.82×1001000=0.5M×0.082×250

⇒ M = 0.5 × 250 = 125 g/mol
