Explanation:

from the ideal gas equation PV=nRT

for a given container filled with any ideal gas P and V remains constant. So T is also constant. R is as such a constant.

So n i. e no of moles will also be constant.

no of moles of Ar=3.224/40=0.0806

no of moles of unknown gas=0.0806

molecular wt of unknown gas=8.102/0.0806=100.52
