Question

A mixture of 2 g of H2 gas (MM= 2g/mol) and 16 g of Ne gas (MM= 4g/mol) were occupied in 2 L balloon

at 30'C. What is the total pressure
inside the balloon?
​

Answer 1

The total pressure inside the balloon : 62.1 atm

Further explanation

Given

2 g of H2 gas (MM= 2g/mol)

16 g of Ne gas (MM= 4g/mol)

2 L balloon at 30'C

Required

The total pressure

Solution

mol H2 :

= mass : MM

= 2 : 2

= 1

mol Ne :

= 16 : 4

= 4

Total mol of gas = 5

T = 30+273 = 303 K

Ideal gas law :

P = nRT/V

P = 5 moles x 0.082 L.atm/mol.K x 303 K / 2 L

P = 62.1 atm
