Question

Consider a mixture of two ideal gases, X and Y, with molar masses MX=10 kg/kmol\overline{M}_X = 10 \text{ kg/kmol} and MY=20 kg/kmol\overline{M}_Y = 20 \text{ kg/kmol}, respectively, in a container. The total pressure in the container is 100 kPa100 \text{ kPa}, the total volume of the container is 10 m310 \text{ m}^3 and the temperature of the contents of the container is 300 K300 \text{ K}. If the mass of gas-X in the container is 2 kg2 \text{ kg}, then the mass of gas-Y in the container is ____ kg. (Rounded off to one decimal place)
Assume that the universal gas constant is 8314 J kmol1K18314 \text{ J kmol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}.
