(a)
Interpretation:
For the given set of gases filled in balloons under different conditions the balloon that contains more number of gas molecules and the balloon with greater mass of gas should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ideal gas Equation:
Any gas can be described by using four terms namely pressure, volume, temperature and the amount of gas. Thus combining three laws namely Boyle’s, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis the following equation could be obtained. It is referred as ideal gas equation.
Under some conditions gases don not behave like ideal gas that is they deviate from their ideal gas properties. At lower temperature and at high pressures the gas tends to deviate and behave like real gases.
Boyle’s Law:
At given constant temperature conditions the mass of given ideal gas in inversely proportional to its volume.
Charles’s Law:
At given constant pressure conditions the volume of ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
Avogadro’s Hypothesis:
Two equal volumes of gases with same temperature and pressure conditions tend to have same number of molecules with it.
Molar mass: The molar mass of a substance is determined by dividing the given mass of substance by the amount of the substance.
Partial pressure: The partial pressure for any gas can be obtained by multiplication of total pressure of the gas with the mole fraction of the gas present in that total mixture.
Mole fraction: It defines the amount of particular species present in the mixture. It is obtained by dividing the mole of gas by the total mole of gas present in the mixture.
