    A and B are two identical vessels. A contains 15 g of ethane at 298 K and 1 atm. The vessel B contains 75 g gas \[{{X}_{2}}\] at the same temperature and pressure. The vapour density of \[{{X}_{2}}\] is:

    A)  300     

    B)                                         375                       

    C)  150                       

    D)         75                                   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From gas equation, \[{{P}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}={{n}_{1}}\cdot R{{T}_{1}}=\frac{{{w}_{1}}}{{{m}_{1}}}\cdot R{{T}_{1}}\]                        ?(i) \[{{P}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}=\frac{{{w}_{2}}}{{{m}_{2}}}\cdot R{{T}_{2}}\]                                            ?(ii) As, \[{{P}_{1}}={{P}_{2}},\] \[{{V}_{1}}={{V}_{2}}\]hence, \[{{T}_{1}}={{T}_{2}}\] Hence, \[\frac{{{w}_{1}}}{{{m}_{1}}}=\frac{{{w}_{2}}}{{{m}_{2}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{15}{30}=\frac{75}{{{m}_{2}}}\] (\[\because \] molecular weight of ethane = 30) \[\therefore \]  \[{{m}_{2}}=150\] Hence, vapour density of\[{{X}_{2}}\]gas is \[=\frac{M}{2}=\frac{150}{2}=75\]
