Two cylinders, both fitted with frictionless pistons, are filled with mixtures of He and Ar gases. In the first cylinder, the masses of He and Ar are $m_1$ and $m_2$, respectively. In the second cylinder, the masses of He and Ar are $m_2$ and $m_1$, respectively. The molar mass of Ar is 10 times the molar mass of He. The external pressure applied by the piston on the first cylinder needs to be 5 times that on the second cylinder so that the volume of the gas mixtures in both the cylinders are equal at the same temperature. Assuming He and Ar behave like ideal gases, the value of $(m_1/m_2)$ is _______.
Molar volume (Vm) of a van der Waals gas can be calculated by expressing the van der Waals equation as a cubic equation with Vm as the variable. The ratio (in mol dm−3) of the coefficient of Vm2 to the coefficient of Vm for a gas having van der Waals constants a = 6.0 dm6 atm mol−2 and b = 0.060 dm3 mol−1 at 300 K and 300 atm is ______.
Use: Universal gas constant (R) = 0.082 dm3 atm mol−1 K−1
[Use: Gas constant, $\mathrm{R}=8 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~L}$ atm $\mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ]
(Use molar mass of aluminium as 27.0 g mol$$-$$1, R = 0.082 atm L mol$$-$$1 K$$-$$1)
