A mixture of 1.65*1021 molecules of X and 1.85*1021 molecules of Y weighs 0.688 g. The mol.wt. of X (assume mol.wt.of Y is 187)?
Here, we have,
187 gm of Y = 1 mole of Y = 6.022 x 1023 molecules of Y
So, if 6.022 x 1023 molecules of Y = 187 g
then, 1.85 x 1021 molecules of Y = (187 / 6.022 x 1023 ) x 1.85 x 1021 = 0.574 gm of Y
Hence, mass of 1.65 x 1021 molecules of X = 0.688 -0.574 = 0.114 gm
Since, mass of 1.65 x 1021 molecules of X = 0.114 gm
So, mass of 6.022 x 1023 molecules of X = (0.114/ 1.65 x 1021 ) x 6.022 x 1023 = 41.6 gm = mass of 1 mole of X
Hence, molar mass of X = 41.6 gm
