Answer 1

A container that holds 20.0 grams of neon gas under the same conditions how many grams of xenon would the container hold? A container that holds 20.0 ...

Answer 2

Answer: 131 grams

Explanation:-

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 Liters at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

$\text{Number of moles of neon}=\frac{20g}{20g/mol}=1mole$

Thus 1 mole of Xenon will occupy the same volume as 1 mole of Neon.

Mass of xenon=$moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=1\times 131g/mol=131g$
