Question:

2.9 g of a gas (molar mass \(40\,g\,mol^{-1}\)) at \(T(K)\) occupied the same volume as 0.184 g of dihydrogen at \(17^\circ C\) at the same pressure. The value of \(T(K)\) is:

Show Hint

For equal pressure and equal volume, \[ \frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{T_2}{T_1} \] directly follows from the ideal gas equation.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: From ideal gas equation, \[ PV=nRT \] At same pressure and volume, \[ n_1T_1=n_2T_2 \]

Step 1:
Calculate moles of first gas.
\[ n_1=\frac{2.9}{40} \] \[ n_1=0.0725 \]

Step 2:
Calculate moles of hydrogen.
\[ n_2=\frac{0.184}{2} \] \[ n_2=0.092 \] Temperature: \[ 17^\circ C=290K \]

Step 3:
Apply \(nT=\) constant.
\[ n_1T=n_2(290) \] \[ 0.0725T=0.092\times290 \] \[ T=\frac{26.68}{0.0725} \] \[ T\approx368K \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{368K} \]
