Comprehension-1 Two closed identical conducting containers are found in the laboratory of an old scientist. For the vertification of the gas some experiments are performed on the two boxes and the results are noted. Experimenet 1. When the two containers are weighed W_(A) = 225tg, W_(B) = 160 g and mass of evacuated container W_(C) = 100g . Experiment 2. When the two containers are given same amount of heat same temperature rise is recorded. The pressure changes found are DeltaP_(A) = 2.5 atm, Deltap_(B) = 1.5 atm . Required data for unknown gas: |(underset("molar mass")(Mono)",He,Ne,Ar,Kr,Xe,Rd),(,4g,20g,40g,84g,131g,222g),(underset(molar mass)(Dia),H_(2),F_(2),N_(2),O_(2),CI_(2),),(,2g,19g,28g,32g,71g,)| Identify the gas filled in the container A and B .
