Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 12.57

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Pressure of } \mathrm{N}_2 \text { gas }=(715-15) \\ & \begin{array}{l}=700 \mathrm{mmHg} \\ \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\mathrm{RT}} \\ \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\frac{700 \times 60 \times 10^{-3}}{760 \times 0.0821 \times 300} \\…
