Answer:

19.07 g mol^-1

Explanation:

The computation of the molecular mass of the unknown gas is shown below:

As we know that

\frac{Diffusion\ rate\ of unknown\ gas }{CO_{2}\ diffusion\ rate} = \frac{\sqrt{CO_{2\ molar\ mass}} }{\sqrt{Unknown\ gas\ molercular\ mass } }

where,

Diffusion rate of unknown gas = 155 mL/s

CO_2 diffusion rate = 102 mL/s

CO_2 molar mass = 44 g mol^-1

Unknown gas molercualr mass = M_unknown

Now placing these values to the above formula

\frac{155mL/s}{102mL/s} = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ 1.519 = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}}}{1.519} \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{44 g mol^{-1}}{(1.519)^{2}}

After solving this, the molecular mass of the unknown gas is

= 19.07 g mol^-1

As a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, the average distance between molecules..
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: increases

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different states, they are solids, liquids and gases. And each of them contains molecules with a certain amount of kinetic energy.

Hence, the addition of heat changes a substance from a liquid to a gas through a process called vaporization, whereby liquid molecules on changing to gases acquire a higher kinetic energy, and move more freely within the containing vessel.

Thus, the higher kinetic energy explains the increase in the average distance between molecules.

How many grams of Fe can be produced when 5.50 g of Fe2O3 reacts?
vichka [17]

Answer:

3,85 g of Fe

Explanation:

1- The first thing to do is calculate the molar mass of the Fe2O3 compound. With the help of a periodic table, the weights of the atoms are searched, and the sum is made:

Molar mass of Fe2O3 = (2 x mass of Fe) + (3 x mass of O) = 2 x 55.88 g + 3 x 15.99 g = 159.65 g / mol

Then, one mole of Fe2O3 has a mass of 159.65 grams.

2- Then, the relationship between the Fe2O3 that will react and the iron to be produced. With the previous calculation, we can say that with one mole of Fe2O3, two moles of Fe can be produced. Passing this relationship to the molar masses, it would be as follows:

1 mole of Fe2O3_____ 2 moles of Fe

159.65 g of Fe2O3_____ 111.76 g of Fe

3- Finally, the calculation of the mass that can be produced of Fe is made, starting from 5.50 g of Fe2O3

159.65 g of Fe2O3 _____ 111.76 g of Fe

5.50 g of Fe2O3 ______ X = 3.85 g of Fe

<em>Calculation: 5.50 g x 111.76 g / 159.65 g = 3.85 g </em>

The answer is that 3.85 g of Fe can be produced when 5.50 g of Fe2O3 react

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2N
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

NH3

Explanation:

2NH3(aq)+CO2(aq)→CH4N2O(aq)+H2O(l)

So for two moles of NH3 we need one mole of CO2. So let's count moles for each reagent.

n(NH3)=m(NH3)/M(NH3)=135700/17,03=7968.29 mol

n(CO2)=m(CO2)/M(CO2)=211400/44.01=4803.45 mol

From equation we have to divide n(NH3) by 2 because we need two equivalent per one CO2. That will be 3984.145. So the limiting agent is NH3 because it's not enough of it to react with all CO2
