To solve this problem, we must assume ideal gas behaviour so that we can use Graham’s law:

vA / vB = sqrt (MW_B / MW_A)

where,

<span>vA = speed of diffusion of A  (HBR)</span>

vB = speed of diffusion of B (unknown)

MW_B = molecular weight of B (unkown)

MW_A = molar weight of HBr = 80.91 amu

 

We know from the given that:

vA / vB = 1 / 1.49

 

So,

1/1.49 = sqrt (MW_B / 80.91)

MW_B = 36.44 g/mol

 

Since this unknown is also hydrogen halide, therefore this must be in the form of HX.

HX = 36.44 g/mol , therefore:

x = 35.44 g/mol

 

From the Periodic Table, Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of 35.44 g/mol. Therefore the hydrogen halide is:

HCl

What other kinds of empirical evidence can be used to show common ancestry among organisms?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:There are, however, other forms of empirical evidence that support the theory of evolution. The fossil record, anatomical and embryological homologous, and genetic similarities are also used to support the theory of evolution. Many pieces of evidence support the theory that birds and dinosaurs are related.

neonofarm [45]

Se producirán 36 gramos de agua

Explicación: Ya que en una reacción química no puede descubrir ningún cambio en masa total de las sustancias que en ella intervienen, pues en una reacción química ni se gana ni se pierde masa.

Anna007 [38]
The reaction occurs in a similar way as magnesium does, but much less vigorous. Strong heating is required to make iron powder burn in oxygen. The reaction gives out a yellow showery sparks and produces a black solid. iron reacts with dilute hydrocloric acid to give iron chloride and hydrogen gas.
