Which of the following gases has high vapour density at same temperature and pressure?

Options

  1. AH2\text{H}_2
  2. BO2\text{O}_2
  3. CCl2\text{Cl}_2
  4. DCH4\text{CH}_4

Correct answer

C. Cl2\text{Cl}_2

Step-by-step solution

Vapour density is directly proportional to the molar mass of the gas, as Vapour Density=Molar Mass2\text{Vapour Density} = \dfrac{\text{Molar Mass}}{2}.

Calculating the molar mass for each given gas:
H2=2 g/mol\text{H}_2 = 2 \text{ g/mol}
O2=32 g/mol\text{O}_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}
Cl2=71 g/mol\text{Cl}_2 = 71 \text{ g/mol}
CH4=16 g/mol\text{CH}_4 = 16 \text{ g/mol}

Since Cl2\text{Cl}_2 has the highest molar mass, it has the highest vapour density.

Answer: Cl2\text{Cl}_2
