<span>Let's </span>assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>
</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V
is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number
of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹)
and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 60 cm Hg = 79993.4 Pa
V = </span>125 mL = 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³
n = ?
<span>
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 25 °C = 298 K
<span>
By substitution,
</span></span>79993.4 Pa<span> x </span>125 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 298 K<span>
n = 4.0359 x 10</span>⁻³ mol
<span>
Hence, moles of the gas</span> = 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>
Moles = mass / molar
mass
</span>Mass of the gas = 0.529 g
<span>Molar mass of the gas</span> = mass / number of moles<span>
= </span>0.529 g / 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>
<span> = </span>131.07 g mol</span>⁻¹<span>
Hence, the molar mass of the given gas is </span>131.07 g mol⁻¹
nuclear fusion
Stars produce their energy through nuclear fusion. For most stars, this process is dominated by a process called the "proton-proton chain," a sequence of events that transforms four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom.
Explanation:
The answer for this question depends on the type of meniscus in the cylinder. If it is an upright meniscus like in water, the reading should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus. However if it is an inverted meniscus like in mercury, the reading should be taken at the top of the meniscus.
