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
<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

Moles of HI = 0.550 moles
Volume of container = 2.00 L

For the given chemical equation:

<u>Initial:</u> 0.275
<u>At eqllm:</u> 0.275-2x x x
The expression of
for above equation follows:
![K_c=\frac{[H_2][I_2]}{[HI]^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_2%5D%5BI_2%5D%7D%7B%5BHI%5D%5E2%7D)
We are given:

Putting values in above expression, we get:

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative
So, equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas = x = 0.0275 M
Hence, the concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M
