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

Hillsdale and Cordera are the same distance from the equator, and both are near the ocean. Is Cordera warmer, colder, or the sam
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Cordera is colder than Hillsdale.

Explanation:

They may be at a similar latitude. But you also have to consider the currents nearby the location.

The prevailing wind closer to the equator which carries warm current hits Hillsdale which is why it follows the coastline of the continent. However, for Cordera prevailing winds carrying cold currents hits the continent and follows or hits the coastline of Cordera.

What does it mean to tare a balance and why do you think it is important to complete this before you begin measuring mass?
aev [14]

Answer:

allows for you to account for only the weight of the substance being measured and not the vessel it’s being measured in.

Explanation:

What does it mean to tare a balance and why do you think it is important to complete this before you begin measuring mass? Explanation: The term tare is used when weighing chemicals on a balance, using the tare button allows for you to account for only the weight of the substance being measured and not the vessel it’s being measured in.

Activation energy is ____. (1 point)
Usimov [2.4K]
Activation energy is defined as the least amount of energy that is needed to be available in a chemical system with potential reactants in order to result a chemical reaction. Therefore, the correct answer would be the first option: the heat released in a reaction.
