Answer:
Indeed, the two samples should contain about the same number of gas particles. However, the molar mass of is larger than that of (by a factor of about .) Therefore, the mass of the sample is significantly larger than that of the sample.
Explanation:
The and the sample here are under the same pressure and temperature, and have the same volume. Indeed, if both gases are ideal, then by Avogadro's Law, the two samples would contain the same number of gas particles ( and molecules, respectively.) That is:
.
Note that the mass of a gas is different from the number of gas particles in it. In particular, if all particles in this gas have a molar mass of , then:
.
In other words,
- .
- .
The ratio between the mass of the and that of the sample would be:
.
Since by Avogadro's Law:
.
Look up relative atomic mass data on a modern periodic table:
Therefore:
- .
- .
Verify whether :
- Left-hand side: .
- Right-hand side: .
Note that the mass of the sample comes with only two significant figures. The two sides of this equations would indeed be equal if both values are rounded to two significant figures.
I would say the second option

D.10.0 mol is the correct
Answer:
The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.
Explanation:
Enthalpy of formation of iodine gas =
Enthalpy of formation of chlorine gas =
Enthalpy of formation of ICl gas =
The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:
For the given chemical reaction:
The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:
Enthaply change when 1.62 moles of iodine gas recast:
Entropy of the surrounding =
1 kJ = 1000 J
The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.
