We have two containers with an identical amount of gas in each. One gas is helium, the other is ammonia. Which would you expect to have the higher pressure?

Sagot :

The gas with a higher pressure is  Helium

Calculating the pressure exerted by the gases

Given that temperature and volume is held constant the pressure of a given gas can be calculated as : P = n because for a constant volume and temperature the pressure of a given gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of contained in the gas.

Pressure of Helium

P = n

where n ( number of moles ) = mass of helium / molar mass

                                               = 52 / 4 = 13 moles

Pressure of Ammonia

P = n

where n ( number of moles ) = mass  / molar mass of ammonia

                                                = 73 / 17.03

                                                = 4.29 moles

From the calculations above the gas with a higher pressure is Helium.
