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

199.5 grams unrefined dark crystalline sugar to cups
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0.9975 cup  

Step-by-step explanation:

"Unrefined dark crystalline sugar" is what non-chemists call "brown sugar."

200.0 g brown sugar = 1 cup

 199.5 g brown sugar = 199.5× 1/200 .0

 199.5 g brown sugar = 0.9975 cup

A standard measuring cup is not capable of this precision and, furthermore, the mass of brown sugar you can get into a cup depends on how tightly you pack it.

Your Mole Day cake will be fine if you use 1 cup of brown sugar as usual.
