Correct Answer :
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:
Molar mass of gas Y:
Total pressure in the container:
Total volume of the container:
Temperature of the mixture:
Mass of gas X in the container:
Universal gas constant:
2. Calculate the number of moles of gas X:
The number of moles of gas X () is given by:
Substituting the given values:
3. Calculate the total number of moles of the mixture:
Using the ideal gas equation for the mixture:
We can solve for the total number of moles ():
Substituting the parameters:
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:
5. Calculate the mass of gas Y:
The mass of gas Y () is:
Rounding off to one decimal place, the mass of gas-Y in the container is 4.0 kg (which is 4 kg).
