Question
A student forgot to add the reaction mixture to the round-bottomed flask at 27°C but put it on the flame. After a lapse of time, he realized his mistake. Using a pyrometer, he found the temperature of the flask as 477°C. What fraction of air would have been expelled out?
Answer: B
💡 Solution & Explanation
Open flask: n1T1 = n2T2. n2 = n1(300/750) = 2/5 n1. Fraction expelled = (n1 - 2/5 n1)/n1 = 3/5. Therefore, correct answer is B.
