Josephine Kim · Answer 1

weight of sealed tube that is filled with iodine gas is 27 gm

Explanation:

As tube is closed therefore mole of gas is enclosed in a tube, thus it will only converted into gas (Iodine Gas). In the gas form it will going to exert pressure on the wall of a tube. From conservation of mass principle weight of tube remain same, there will be no change in the weight of gas. therefore weight of sealed tube that is filled with iodine gas is 27 gm
