Solution
The correct option is B 32 g A mole is equal to the relative molecular mass of a gas. As given, the number of moles of gas X and hydrogen are same in the two flasks. Therefore no. of moles in 2g of hydrogen gas = 1 No. of moles in 1.01g of hydrogen gas = 1/2 Now the weight of gas X that contains 1/2 moles = 16.2g Weight of gas X that contains 1mole = 16.21/2 = 32g
