(ii) A gas cylinder can hold 1kg of hydrogen at room temperature and pressure.
(a) Find the number of moles of hydrogen present.
1kg of hydrogen
1kg=1000g
Molecular weight of H2
=2H=2×1g=2g
2g of hydrogen gas contains 1mole of H2
1000g of hydrogen gas contains 12×1000=500moles of H2
Hence, 500moles of hydrogen gas are present.
A gas cylinder can hold 1 kg of hydrogen at room temperature and pressure
(a) What mass of carbon dioxide can it held under the similar condition of temperature and pressure?
(b) If the number of molecules of hydrogen in the cylinder is X, calculate the number of carbon dioxide molecules in the cylinder. State the law that helped you to arrive at the above result.
(c) If the number of molecules of hydrogen in the cylinder is X, calculate the number of CO2 molecules in the cylinder under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.
(d) State the law that helped you to arrive at the above result.
(b) What weight of CO2 can the cylinder hold under similar conditions of temperature and pressure?
H=1,C=12,O=16
