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

A drought has affected an ecosystem. Many plants have died due to lack of water. What do you think will happen ti the other orga
IceJOKER [234]
I think eventually other organisms will die out as well because many herbivores feed on plants for survival, and many other animals feed on these herbivores for survival and so on (this causes a chain reaction because there is a lack of available food)<span />
