Density measurements at STP were made on samples of the gases from two unlabeled cylinders of pure noble gasses and were found to be 0.178 g/L and 0.900 g/L. Which gases might be present in each tank?
we know that avogadro's law at STP 1 mole of gas occupy volume 22.414 L
1 mole gas = molar mass of gas in gm
we know another eqution
density = mass/volume thus,
mass = density volume
to calculate molar mass of gases take volume 22.414 L and density
# Cylinder which have density 0.178 g/L
molar mass = 0.178 22.414 = 3.99
the noble gas which have molar mass near 3.99 is Helium so, cylinder contain Helium(He)
# Cylinder which have density 0.900 g/L
molar mass = 0.900 22.414 = 20.1726
the noble gas which have molar mass near 20.1726 is Helium so, cylinder contain Neon(Ne)
