Estimate the molar mass of a gas that effuses at 1.6 times the effusion rate of CO2

1 answer:

7 0

To estimate the molar mass of the gas, we use Graham's law of effusion. This relates the rates of effusion of gases with their molar mass. We calculate as follows:

r1/r2 = √(m2/m1)

where r1 would be the effusion rate of the gas and r2 is for CO2, M1 is the molar mass of the gas and M2 would be the molar mass of CO2 (44.01 g/mol)

r1 = 1.6r2

1.6 = √(44.01 / m1)
m1 = 17.19 g/mol

(5.0 m3) ( 7.5 mmHg) = (P)(4.0m3)

anzhelika [568]

It looks like we are solving for a pressure. All that is required is some algebraic manipulation to find our pressure in mmHg.

Given:

(5.0 m³)(7.5 mmHg) = (P)(4.0m³)

Multiply:

37.5 = 4.0P

Divide:

9.375 = P

P = 9.4 mmHg (remember sig figs)

<h3>Answer:</h3>

9.4 mmHg

What are particles that differ in number between isotopes

balandron [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons. The difference in the number of neutrons between the various isotopes of an element means that the various isotopes have different masses.

What does the 32.06 represent?

lana [24]

The 32.06 represent The atomic mass, the average number of protons & neutrons

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons in an atom of an element. If the atom is neutral then the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. So the atomic number can also indicate the number of electrons.

So atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons

Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons

So that the relationship between atomic numbers and mass numbers can be formulated as follows:

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

In the following element notation,

$\large {{{Z} \atop {A}} \right X}$

X = symbol of elemental atom

A = mass number

= number of protons + number of neutrons

Z = atomic number

= number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements
