Interpretation: A tank is given to be filled with a mixture of two ideal gases, that are A (red spheres) and B (blue spheres). The molar mass of A is given to be twice as that of B. The atoms of A eventually filling the bottom of the tank and the atoms of B filling the top of the tank and the tank representing an isolated system is to be validated.
Concept introduction: The density of a substance is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.
Density depends upon mass and volume. The higher molar mass of a substance corresponds to a higher density value.
To determine: If the atoms of A eventually fill the bottom of the tank atoms of B will fill top of the tank and if the tank represent an isolated system.
