4. If a cylinder contains 2 moles of helium (He), 2 moles of neon (Ne), and 1 mole of argon (Ar), what is the mole fraction of helium?
a) 0.2
b) 0.4
c) 0.6
d) 0.8
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Mole fraction = Moles of He / Total moles = 2 / (2 + 2 + 1) = 0.4.

5. If a mixture contains 2 moles of helium (He), 2 moles of neon (Ne), and 1 mole of argon (Ar), what is the mole fraction of neon?
a) 0.2
b) 0.4
c) 0.6
d) 0.8
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Mole fraction = Moles of Ne / Total moles = 2 / (2 + 2 + 1) = 0.4.

6. If a gas mixture contains 1 mole of argon (Ar) among a total of 5 moles in the mixture, what is the mole fraction of argon?
a) 0.2
b) 0.4
c) 0.6
d) 0.8
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Mole fraction = Moles of Ar / Total moles = 1 / 5 = 0.2.

7. What is the weight percentage of helium (He) in a mixture if the cylinder contains 8 grams of He and the total mass of the gas mixture is 128 grams?
a) 0.0225
b) 0.0425
c) 0.0625
d) 0.0825
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Weight percentage = (mass of He / Total mass) = 8 / 128 = 0.0625.

8. What is the weight percentage of neon (Ne) if a cylinder contains 40 grams of Ne and the total mass of the gas mixture is 128 grams?
a) 0.3125
b) 0.4125
c) 0.5125
d) 0.6125
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Weight percentage = (mass of Ne / Total mass) = 40 / 128 = 0.3125.

9. What is the weight percentage of argon (Ar) in a gas mixture where the cylinder contains 80 grams of Ar, and the total mass is 128 grams?
a) 0.225
b) 0.425
c) 0.625
d) 0.825
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Weight percentage = (mass of Ar / Total mass) = 80 / 128 = 0.625.
