You are holding four identical balloons each containing 10.0g of a different gas. The balloon containing which gas is the largest balloon?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Hydrogen, H_2

Explanation:

mass of each gas is 10.0 g

number of mole =  mass/ molar mass

number of moles is directly proportional to volume at constant temp and pressure

this implies that the  volume is inversely proportional to molar mass. And Among all the gases in periodic table the molar mass of Hydrogen is the least.

molar mass of H2=2 g/mol

Since, H2 has minimum molar mass then for the same mass of the gases Hydrogen will have maximum volume.

The largest balloon will be the one containing H2 gas

Volume of gases and number of moles

At constant temperature, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its number of moles.

Mole of 10 g H2 = 10/2 = 5 moles

Mole of 10g He = 10/4 = 2.5 moles

Mole of 10g Ne = 10/20 = 0.5 moles

Mole of 10 g O2 = 10/32 = 0.3 moles

Thus, H2 gas has the highest volume and will therefore be the content of the largest balloon.
