Answer: 4 g/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

Molar mass of neon =  20 g/mol

Molar mass of unknown gas = ?g/mol

For the rate of diffusion of neon to unknown gas (X), we write the expression:

\frac{Rate_{Ne}}{Rate_{X}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{X}}{M_{Ne}}}

\frac{4.5}{10.1}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{X}}{20}

{M_{X}}=4g/mol

Hence, the approximate molar mass of the unknown gas is 4 g/mol

Which is the term for an ion that has more protons than electrons
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.

nignag [31]

Answer:

\%m/m=14\%

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of magnesium chloride (molar mass = 95.211 g/mol) is 1.672 mol/L and we know the density of the solution, we can first compute the concentration in g/L as shown below:

[MgCl_2]=1.672\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{95.211gMgCl_2}{1molMgCl_2}=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}

Next, since the density of the solution is 1.137 g/mL, we can compute the concentration in g/g as shown below:

[MgCl_2]=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}*\frac{1mL}{1.137g}=0.14

Which is also the by-mass fraction and in percent it turns out:

\%m/m=0.14*100\%\\\\\%m/m=14\%

Best regards!
