At 300 K, a sample of 3.0 g of gas A occupies the same volume as 0.2 g of hydrogen at 200 K at the same pressure. The molar mass of gas A is ____________ g mol −- 1. (nearest integer) Assume that the behaviour of gases as ideal.

(Given : The molar mass of hydrogen (H2) gas is 2.0 g mol −- 1.)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Both gas A and Hydrogen (H2) gas have same volume at same pressure. Let both 's volume is V and pressure P.

For gas A :

Pressure = P

Temperature (T) = 300 K

Volume = V

Mass = 3 g

Molar mass = M gm/mol

using ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

⇒PV=3M×R×300\Rightarrow PV = {3 \over M} \times R \times 300 ..... (1)

For Hydrogen,

Pressure = P

Temperature (T) = 200 K

Volume = V

Mass = 0.2 g

Molar mass = 2 gm/mol

Using ideal gas equation,

PV=0.22×R×200PV = {{0.2} \over 2} \times R \times 200 ...... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

3M×R×300=0.22×R×200{3 \over M} \times R \times 300 = {{0.2} \over 2} \times R \times 200

⇒\Rightarrow M = 45
