Gas y effuses half as fast as o2. what is the molar mass of gas y?

1 answer:

4 0

To solve this question, we will use Graham's law which states that:
(R1 / R2) ^ 2 = M2 / M1 where
R1 and R2 are the rates of effusion and M1 and M2 are the molar masses of the two gases.
From the periodic table, we can calculate the molar mass of O2 as follows:
molar mass of O2 = 2*16 = 32 grams

Therefore we have:
R1 / R2 = Ry / RO2 = 1/2
M1 is My we want to get
M2 is molar mass of O2 = 32 grams
Substitute in the above equation to get the molar mass of y as follows:
(1/2) ^2 = (32/My)
1/4 = 32/My
My = 32*4 = 128

Therefore, molar mass of gas y = 128 grams

If a tube contains 2.0oz of sunscreen, how many kilograms of benzyl salicylate are needed to manufacture 325 tubes of sunscreen

Vadim26 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Now it is given here that there are 325 tubes that are manufactured for sunscreen. And we also know that the percentage of sunscreen in benzyl salicylate is 2.5% here in one tube we have 2 Oz of sunscreen.

<u>Explanation:</u>

So sunscreen in 325 tubes will be 2 x 325= 650 Oz. Since we know the amount of sunscreen in 325 tubes the amount of Benzyl salicylate in all 325 tubes will be 650 x 0.025 = 16.25 Oz

<em>Now this can be converted into kg as 0.46 kg</em>.
