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

Using the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab, calculate the boiling point of titanium tetrachloride . Round your an
ddd [48]

Answer:

The boiling point is 308.27 K (35.27°C)

Explanation:

The chemical reaction for the boiling of titanium tetrachloride is shown below:

TiCl_{4(l)} ⇒ TiCl_{4(g)}

ΔH°_{f} (TiCl_{4(l)}) = -804.2 kJ/mol

ΔH°_{f} (TiCl_{4(g)}) = -763.2 kJ/mol

Therefore,

ΔH°_{f} = ΔH°_{f} (TiCl_{4(g)}) - ΔH°_{f} (TiCl_{4(l)}) = -763.2 - (-804.2) = 41 kJ/mol = 41000 J/mol

Similarly,

s°(TiCl_{4(l)}) = 221.9 J/(mol*K)

s°(TiCl_{4(g)}) = 354.9 J/(mol*K)

Therefore,

s° = s° (TiCl_{4(g)}) - s°(TiCl_{4(l)}) = 354.9 - 221.9 = 133 J/(mol*K)

Thus, T = ΔH°_{f} /s° = [41000 J/mol]/[133 J/(mol*K)] = 308. 27 K or 35.27°C

Therefore, the boiling point of titanium tetrachloride is 308.27 K or 35.27°C.

Where is the fulcrum of this lever? circle and label its location on the diagram above
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) A fulcrum is a pivot point that plays a central role (not necessarily located at the center) in a lever. The fulcrum of the attached picture has been circled (in blue).

2) The object placed on this lever's measurement tray is balanced by placing it at the center of the tray. This is the standard way of placing objects on any balance.
