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
