                                    When 2 g of a gas is introduced into an evacuated flask kept at 25∘C, the pressure is found to be 1 atmosphere. If 3 g of another gas B is then added to the same flask, the total pressure becomes 0.5 atmosphere. Assuming ideal gas behaviour, calculate the ratio of molecular mass MA:MB. |
