A flask contains 1313 mole of H2H2 and 2323 mole of HeHe. Compare the force on the wall per impact of H2H2 relative to that for HeHe.

Answer: The force exerted on the wall by He is twice than by H2.

Explanation: I believe this is the answer because:

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area.

It means that pressure is directly proportional to the force. If the pressure is increased, more force will be exerted on the walls of the container.

According to Henry’s law, the partial pressure of gas in the gas mixture is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the gas.

Among the given gas mixture, the mole fraction of He is twice more than that of H2. So, the pressure exerted by the He gas is two times greater than H2.

Hence, the force exerted on the wall will be greater by He than by H2.

The ratio of the impact of the gases is:

H2 over He = 1/3 over 2/3 - 1 : 2

Therefore, the force exerted on the wall by He is twice than by H2.

I hope this helps!
