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

The reaction of Pb+4 and O-2 produces the compound of
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Pb₂O₄

                               

Explanation:

The given species are:

        Pb⁴⁺               O²⁻  

Now, to solve this problem, we use the combining powers which corresponds to the number of electrons usually lost or gained or shared by atoms during the course of a chemical combination.

                                          Pb⁴⁺               O²⁻  

Combining power               4                    2

Exchange of valencies        2                    4

Now the molecular formula is  Pb₂O₄

How do chemists solve problems?
Westkost [7]

Answer:Chemistry problems can be solved using a variety of techniques.

Explanation:  Many chemistry teachers and most introductory chemistry texts illustrate problem solutions using the factor-label method. ... The use of analogies and schematic diagrams results in higher achievement on problems involving moles, stoichiometry, and molarity. Hope this helped!

What are some facts about Radon something that is unique and relatively unknown by the general population????
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The word radon is derived from radium, of which radon is gas. Early in its discovery it was also called radium emanation and niton, which comes from the Latin nitens, Since 1923, however, it has been called radon.
