Answer 1

A container that holds 20.0 grams of neon gas under the same conditions how many grams of xenon would the container hold? A container that holds 20.0 ...

Answer 2

Answer: 131 grams

Explanation:-

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 Liters at STP and contains avogadro's number
`6.023* 10^(23)` of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

`\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}`

`\text{Number of moles of neon}=(20g)/(20g/mol)=1mole`

Thus 1 mole of Xenon will occupy the same volume as 1 mole of Neon.

Mass of xenon=
`moles* {\text {Molar mass}}=1* 131g/mol=131g`
