Answer: 128 g/mol

Explanation:

Graham's law states that  the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of its particles.

Mathematically, that is:

\frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2}=\sqrt{\frac{MolarMass_2}{MolarMass_1} }

Since, you know the ratio of two rates and the molar mass of one gas, you can calculate the molar mass of the other gas.

The molar mass of the oxygen molecule, O₂ = 2×16.0g/mol = 32.0 g/mol.

In the coming equations, I will use 32 g/mol for simplicity of writing.

\frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2}=2 \\ \\ \\ MolarMass_1=32g/mol\\\\\\ 2=\sqrt{\frac{MolarMass_2}{32g/mol} } \\ \\ \\ 4=\frac{MolarMass_2}{32g/mol}\\ \\ \\ MolarMass_2=128g/mol

So, the molecular mass of the unnknown gas is 128 g/mol.

Chemical reaction: 3RS₂ → 3R + 6S.
Compare second and fourth experiment, when concentration is doubled, rate of concentration is increaced by four. So rate is:
rate = k·[RS₂]².
k = 0,438 ÷ (0,500)².
k = 1,75 L/mol·s.

An 8 N force is applied to a 2 kg object. What is the magnitude of the object's acceleration? A. 0.25 m/s² B. 4 m/s² C. 6 m/s² D
mel-nik [20]

Answer: 4m/s2 (B)

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

Force given is 8N

Mass=2kg

Acceleration =?

Substitute into the formula

F=ma

8=2a

A=8/2

A=4m/s2

Acceleration used is 4m/s2 (B)

CONCLUSIONS: Suppose a student titrated a sample of monoprotic acid of unknown concentration using a previously standardized sol
Zolol [24]

Concentration of unknown acid is 0.061 M

Given:

Concentration of NaOH = 0.125 M

Volume of NaOH = 24.68 mL

Volume of acid solution = 50.00 mL

To Find:

Concentration of the unknown acid

Solution: Concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. The concentration of the solution tells you how much solute has been dissolved in the solvent

Here we will use the formula for concentration:

M1V1 = M2V2

0.125 x 24.68 = 50 x M2

M2 = 0.125 x 24.68 / 50

M2 = 0.061 M

Hence, the concentration of unknown acid is 0.061 M
