compare (a) the numer of atoms and (b) the number of grams present in 1.00 mole of helium and 1.00 mole of argon

Respuesta :

Answer:

For a: The number of atoms of both the gases remains the same.

For b: The number of grams of 1 mole of argon is more than 1 mole of helium.

Explanation:

  • For a:

We are given 1 mole of each helium and argon gas. To calculate the number of atoms of each gas, we use mole concept.

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an element contains [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of atoms.  

So, 1 mole of helium gas will contain [tex]1\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] atoms.

And, 1 mole of argon gas will contain [tex]1\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] atoms.

Hence, both the gases have same number of atoms.

  • For b:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the formula:


[tex]Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]

  • For helium:

Molar mass = 4 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mole

Putting the values in above equation, we get:  

[tex]1mole=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{4g/mol}=4grams[/tex]

  • For Argon:

Molar mass = 39.95 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mole

Putting the values in above equation, we get:  

[tex]1mole=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{39.95g/mol}=39.95grams[/tex]

Difference in mass of argon and helium = (39.95 - 4)g = 35.95g

Hence, mass of argon is more than mass of helium by 35.95 grams.
