Question

Under identical conditions, separate samples of O2 and an unknown gas were allowed to effuse through identical membranes simultaneously. After a certain amount of time, it was found that 8.44 mL of O2 had passed through the membrane, but only 3.95 mL of of the unknown gas had passed through. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas?

Answer 1

Answer:

147.2g

Explanation:

The full solution can be found in the image attached. Graham's law was applied to the problem. The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to its molar mass or vapour density. Molar mass= 2vapour density
