Answer:
70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.
Explanation:
Effusion is defined as rate of change of volume with respect to time.
Rate of Effusion=
Effusion rate of oxygen gas after time t =
Molar mass of oxygen gas = M = 32 g/mol
Effusion rate of unknown gas after time t =
Molar mass of unknown gas = M'
The rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.
This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:
M' = 70.77 g/mol
70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.
