Use a proportion ... 
<span>100.0g - 38.67g - 13.86g = 47.47g Oxygen </span>
<span>285.0 mg = 0.285g </span>
<span>47.47/100 = x/0.285g </span>
<span>x = ( 47.47/100) X 0.285g </span>

At stp which gas will diffuse more readily than ne
pav-90 [236]
I am assuming you are talking about Neon. The rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the molar mass of the gas. Since neon has a molar mass of 20.18 grams, the gas must have a lower molar mass and must be a gas at 273 Kelvin. There are several elements that fulfill this criteria: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Fluorine.

A flask with a volume of 125.0mL contains air with a density of 1.269 g/L. What is the mass of the air contained in the flask?
Aliun [14]
<span>In order to solve this problem you must first make sure all your numbers are in like terms. From the density value you can see that it is grams per liter. The first conversion you must do in convert the 125.0 mL value to Liters which you would do by dividing by 1000 because 1 liter is equal to 1000 mL. 125.0 divided by 1000 is 0.125 Liter. Now you will use the density equation to solve. The density equation is density is equal to mass divided by volume. Plug in your known numbers for density and volume. Then solve for mass. So Density (1.269 g/l is equal to mass divided by volume (.125 Liter) You must rearrange the equation to multiple density by volume which is 1.269 times 0.125 which will give you 0.1586. Because the Liters cancel each other out, the answer's unit will be grams. Your final answer is 0.1586 grams.</span>
