The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the Ideal Gas Law, which states that: \[ PV = nRT \] where: - \( P \) = pressure of the gas, - \( V \) = volume of the gas, - \( n \) = number of moles of the gas, - \( R \) = universal gas constant, - \( T \) = temperature of the gas. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - For \( H_2 \) (Hydrogen): - Pressure, \( P_{H_2} = 4 \) atm - Molecular weight = 2 - For \( He \) (Helium): - Molecular weight = 4 - Both gases are at the same temperature and are in containers of equal volume. 2. **Apply the Ideal Gas Law for \( H_2 \):** - Using the equation \( PV = nRT \): \[ P_{H_2} V = n_{H_2} RT \] - Rearranging gives: \[ P_{H_2} = \frac{n_{H_2} RT}{V} \] 3. **Substitute the Known Values for \( H_2 \):** - We know \( P_{H_2} = 4 \) atm, so: \[ 4 = \frac{n_{H_2} RT}{V} \] 4. **Apply the Ideal Gas Law for \( He \):** - Similarly, for \( He \): \[ P_{He} V = n_{He} RT \] - Rearranging gives: \[ P_{He} = \frac{n_{He} RT}{V} \] 5. **Since Both Gases are Equimolar:** - Given that equal molar amounts are filled, we have: \[ n_{H_2} = n_{He} = n \] - Therefore, we can write: \[ P_{He} = \frac{n RT}{V} \] 6. **Relate the Pressures:** - Since both equations for pressure have the same form and the same \( n \), \( R \), \( T \), and \( V \): \[ P_{He} = P_{H_2} \] - Thus: \[ P_{He} = 4 \text{ atm} \] ### Final Answer: The pressure of the Helium gas \( P_{He} \) is **4 atm**.
