<span>The escape of gas through a small hole in a container is called effusion. This phenomenon happens when the diameter of the hole is small enough compared to the mean free path of the gas particles. This is governed by Graham's Law which states that the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the molecular weight of the gas.</span>
I can't actually answer this one if the empirical formula is not given. Luckily, I've found a similar problem from another website. The problem is shown in the picture attached. It shows that the empirical formula is CH₂O. Let's calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula.
Molar mass of E.F = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30 g/mol
Then, let's divide this to the molar mass of the molecular formula.
Molar mass of M.F/Molar mass of E.F = 180/30 = 6
Therefore, let's multiply 6 to each subscript in the empirical formula to determine the actual molecular formula.
<em>Actual molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆</em>
Answer:
This question is incomplete.
Explanation:
This question is incomplete because of the absence of given mass and volume, however, the steps below will help solve the completed question. The molarity (M) of a solution is the number of moles of solute per liter of solvent. The formula is illustrated below;
Molarity = number of moles (n) / volume (in liter or dm³)
To calculate the number of moles of NaC₂H₃O₂, we say
number of moles (n) =
given or measured mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ ÷ molar mass of NaC₂H₃O₂
The volume of the solvent must be in liter (same as dm³). Thus, to convert mL to liter, we divide by 1000
The unit for Molarity is M (Molar concentration), mol/L or mol/dm³
