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

Air pressure decreases more rapidly with altitude within a column of ________ air than in a column of __________ air.
Anarel [89]
Air Pressure drops more rapidly with altitude in a column of cold air than in warm air.The answers to this question are cold air and warm air, respectively. 
<span>Cold air is known to be dense while warm air is known otherwise to be less thens which makes it move upwards. Cold air experiences more pressure as it moves upwards.</span>

What are the forces that hold sodium and chloride ions together?
Phantasy [73]
Sodium is a metal, Chloride is a non-metal.

Right off the bat, you know that in order for both of these atoms to achieve a full valence shell that the metal has to lose electrons, and the non-metal has to gain them.

Therefore, you have the transfer of electrons in this bond in order to form ions.
Na+ and Cl-. This transfer of electrons in a bond is called an {{ Ionic Bond}}
