To find:
In each of the following pair of gases in balloons, which one has more number of particles?
Answer to Problem 2.79QA
Solution:
a) NO
b) CO2
c) O2
Explanation of Solution
Concept: The problem is based on mole concept. Here, we have to calculate the number of particles in each of the given gases present in a particular amount, i.e., 10.0g.
So, first the number of moles of each gas has to be calculated for each of the given pair. The higher the number of moles of gas in each pair, the greater will be its number of particles.
Formula for calculating the number of moles:
Given information:
10 g of different gases are given, and they are filled into balloons.
Calculation:
a)
So, number of particles of NO is more.
(b)
So, number of particles of CO2 is more.
(c)
So, number of particles of O2 is more.
Conclusion:
The number of particles in each case is calculated and found to be more in NO, CO2, and O2 in (a), (b), and (c) respectively.
