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

Illusion [34]
When volume and pressures are given, it means we need to use Boyles' law formula--> P1V1 = P2V2

P1= 100 kPa
V1= 5.0 L
P2= 50 kPa
V2= ???

let's plug in the values.

(100 x 5.0) = (50 x V2)

V2= 10 L

Explanation:in testing for oxygen a glowing splint is used.

the glowing splint is brought in the presence of the test tube containing the gas

the glowing splint rekindles or lights up showing that oxygen is present.

this is a positive test because oxygen supports burning or combustion

VikaD [51]

Answer:

2.5 moles of NaCl

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction equation is shown in the image. Since it takes 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to form two moles of sodium. Chloride, then 2.5 moles of hydrochloric acid should also form 2.5 moles of sodium chloride according to the balanced reaction equation.
