Solution
A gas cylinder can hold 1kg The mass of hydrogen =1kg×1000g/kg=1000g. The molar mass of hydrogen is 2 g/mol. The
number of moles of hydrogen present =massmolar mass=1000g2g/mol=500mol. The number of moles of CO2= the number of moles of H2=500 moles. The molar mass of CO2=12+2(16)=44 g/mol. The mass of CO2=500mol×44g/mol=22000g Convert the unit from g to kg. 22000g1000g/kg=22kg.
