States of Matter - Result Question 81
####82. At $27^{\circ} C$, hydrogen is leaked through a tiny hole into a vessel for $20 min$. Another unknown gas at the same temperature and pressure as that of hydrogen is leaked through same hole for $20 min$. After the effusion of the gases the mixture exerts a pressure of $6 atm$. The hydrogen content of the mixture is 0.7 mole. If the volume of the container is $3 L$. What is the molecular weight of the unknown gas?

Answer:
Correct Answer: 82. $\left(6.2 \times 10^{-21} J /\right.$ molecule $)$
Solution:
- Total moles of gas in final mixture $=\frac{p V}{R T}=\frac{6 \times 3}{0.082 \times 300}=0.731$
$\because$ Mole of $H _2$ in the mixture $=0.70$
$\therefore \quad$ Mole of unknown gas $(X)=0.031$
Because both gases have been diffused for same time
$$ \begin{array}{rlrl} & & \frac{r\left(H _2\right)}{r(X)} & =\frac{0.70}{0.031}=\sqrt{\frac{M}{2}} \ \Rightarrow & M & =1020 g mol^{-1} \end{array} $$
