Correct Answer :

4

Solution :

The correct answer is 4.

To find the mass of gas Y in the container, we can apply the ideal gas law to the mixture of gases X and Y.

1. Identify the given parameters from the image:
Molar mass of gas X:
M-X=10 kg/kmol
Molar mass of gas Y:
M-Y=20 kg/kmol
Total pressure in the container:
P=100 kPa=100×103 Pa
Total volume of the container:
V=10 m3
Temperature of the mixture:
T=300 K
Mass of gas X in the container:
mX=2 kg
Universal gas constant:
R-=8314 J kmol-1K-1

2. Calculate the number of moles of gas X:
The number of moles of gas X (nX) is given by:
nX=mXM-X
Substituting the given values:
nX=2 kg10 kg/kmol=0.2 kmol

3. Calculate the total number of moles of the mixture:
Using the ideal gas equation for the mixture:
PV=ntotalR-T
We can solve for the total number of moles (ntotal):
ntotal=PVR-T
Substituting the parameters:
ntotal=(100×103 Pa)×(10 m3)(8314 J kmol-1K-1)×(300 K)
ntotal=10624942000.40093 kmol

4. Find the number of moles of gas Y:
Since the total number of moles is the sum of the moles of gas X and Y:
ntotal=nX+nY
nY=ntotal-nX
nY=0.40093 kmol-0.2 kmol=0.20093 kmol

5. Calculate the mass of gas Y:
The mass of gas Y (mY) is:
mY=nY×M-Y
mY=0.20093 kmol×20 kg/kmol=4.0186 kg
Rounding off to one decimal place, the mass of gas-Y in the container is 4.0 kg (which is 4 kg).
