Question:

Four vessels of same volume consist equal masses of four gases \(\text{H}_2\), \(\text{Cl}_2\), \(\text{N}_2\), and \(\text{O}_2\) separately at same temperature. The pressure exerted by the gas is maximum for

Show Hint

At constant \(m\), lower molar mass → higher pressure.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
\[ P \propto n \quad (\text{since } V,T \text{ constant}) \] Step 1: Relation. \[ n = \frac{m}{M} \]
Step 2: Compare molar masses. \[ \text{H}_2 (2)<\text{N}_2 (28)<\text{O}_2 (32)<\text{Cl}_2 (71) \]
Step 3: Conclusion. Smallest molar mass → maximum moles → maximum pressure.
