You are holding two balloons,an orange balloon and a blue balloon.The orange balloon is filled with neon (Ne)gas and the blue balloon is filled with argon (Ar)gas.The orange balloon has twice the volume of the blue balloon.Which of the following best represents the mass ratio of Ne:Ar in the balloons?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given that the orange balloon has twice the volume of the blue balloon and both balloons are filled with noble gases (Neon and Argon), the mass ratio depends on the molar mass of the gases and the volume they occupy. Neon has a molar mass of approximately 20 g/mol, and Argon has a molar mass of approximately 40 g/mol. Since the volume of Neon is twice that of Argon but its molar mass is half, the mass of Neon in the orange balloon will be equal to the mass of Argon in the blue balloon, making the mass ratio 1:1.
