The molar mass of the unknown gas is 184.96 g/mol

<h3>Graham's law of diffusion </h3>

This states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass i.e

R ∝ 1/ √M

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

<h3>How to determine the molar mass of the unknown gas </h3>

The following data were obtained from the question:

  • Rate of unknown gas (R₁) = R
  • Rate of CH₄ (R₂) = 3.4R
  • Molar mass of CH₄ (M₂) = 16 g/mol
  • Molar mass of unknown gas (M₁) =?

The molar mass of the unknown gas can be obtained as follow:

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

R / 3.4R = √(16 / M₁)

1 / 3.4 = √(16 / M₁)

Square both side

(1 / 3.4)² = 16 / M₁

Cross multiply

(1 / 3.4)² × M₁ = 16

Divide both side by (1 / 3.4)²

M₁ = 16 / (1 / 3.4)²

M₁ = 184.96 g/mol

Number of representative particles in 3 moles Sn
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

18.066 × 10²³ particles

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Sn = 3 mol

Number of representative particles = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 3 mole of Sn:

3 × 6.022 × 10²³ particles

18.066 × 10²³ particles

The hydrogen bonding in water creates ________, a cohesive force that enables one to slightly overfill a glass with water or all
ziro4ka [17]

Answer: -

Surface Tension

Explanation: -

Surface tension is cohesive force created as a result of hydrogen bonding, that enables a liquid drop to have a minimum surface area.

Due to it being cohesive, the water top surface is concave in nature, allowing us to hence slightly overfill a glass with water.

Due to surface tension, the surface of water behaves like a stretched membrane, allowing dense objects like a length wise steel needle to float on water.

Thus, the hydrogen bonding in water creates __surface tension__, a cohesive force that enables one to slightly overfill a glass with water or allows denser objects, such as a lengthwise steel needle, to float on water

Can someone help me with this?
IrinaVladis [17]

B. The rate of particle collisions increased with a higher temperature.

An <em>inference </em>is a guess that you make <em>based on an observation</em>. You can’t see the particles, so you are guessing (a) that they exist and (b) that the rate of their collisions increases with a higher temperature.

A, C, and D are all incorrect because they are <em>observations</em> that you make.
