B) Both values less than 1.0 indicating attractive forces between NH 3 molecules dominating, causing
lower than ideal molar volumes. Since NH3 molecules hydrogen bond with each other, this behavior is n
unexpected, since a strong attractive force. Increasing pressure causes an increase in attractive forces
since number of collisions increases, making it more likely the molecules will aggregate or group

So only TB for H2 comes close to tabled value, while in all others the calculation overestimated true valu

Given it is an ideal gas: MWgas = 3.864 ç ÷ = 70.9
Lè 1.35 bar ø mol
So 2(AW) X = 70.9, and AW gas X = 35.45, so gas is Cl2(g).
B) To define mass % will need mass of Ar(g) in 3.864 g. Know that:
PVmix æ 1mol Ar ö æ 1mol Ar ö
nmix = nAr + nXe = = mass Ar ç ÷ + mass Xe ç ÷
RT è 39.94 g ø è 131.3 g ø
but then need second equation relating moles of Ar and Xe in mixture to solve for mass of Ar(g).
