20 gram of H as the greastest volume

Explanation:

Each gas sample has the same temperature and pressure. which sample occupies the greatest volume? each gas sample has the same temperature and pressure. which sample occupies the greatest volume? 40.0 gar 20.0 gne 20.0 gh2 4.0 ghe

Given that,

40.0 g of Ar

20.0 g of Ne

20.0 g of h

24.0 g of he

The ideal gas equation ; Pv = nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, n is the number of mole

which is equal to

n = m / M

where m is the given mass

M is the molar mass

The given gas sample are at the same temperature and pressure,

So, the temperature, pressure and gas constant are fixed.

Therefore the volume is proportional to the given mass and molar mass

V ∝ m/M

Substitute the given mass and molar mass of given masses for comparison

No of mole of Ar = mass / molar mass

= 40 / 40 = 1 mole

No of mole of Ne = mass / molar mass

= 20 / 20 = 1 mole

No of mole of h = mass / molar mass

= 20 / 1 = 20 mole

No of mole of he = mass / molar mass

= 24 / 4 = 6 mole

Hence, 20 gram of H as the greastest volume

e) none of the above answers are correct

the answer is b, have negligible mass
