1. The molar mass of the unknown gas obtained is 0.096 g/mol
2. The pressure of the oxygen gas in the tank is 1.524 atm
<h3>Graham's law of diffusion </h3>
This states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass i.e
R ∝ 1/ √M
R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
<h3>1. How to determine the molar mass of the gas </h3>
- Rate of unknown gas (R₁) = 11.1 mins
- Rate of H₂ (R₂) = 2.42 mins
- Molar mass of H₂ (M₂) = 2.02 g/mol
- Molar mass of unknown gas (M₁) =?
R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
11.1 / 2.42 = √(2.02 / M₁)
Square both side
(11.1 / 2.42)² = 2.02 / M₁
Cross multiply
(11.1 / 2.42)² × M₁ = 2.02
Divide both side by (11.1 / 2.42)²
M₁ = 2.02 / (11.1 / 2.42)²
M₁ = 0.096 g/mol
<h3>2. How to determine the pressure of O₂</h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Volume (V) = 438 L
- Mass of O₂ = 0.885 kg = 885 g
- Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol
- Mole of of O₂ (n) = 885 / 32 = 27.65625 moles
- Temperature (T) = 21 °C = 21 + 273 = 294 K
- Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
The pressure of the gas can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:
PV = nRT
Divide both side by V
P = nRT / V
P = (27.65625 × 0.0821 × 294) / 438
P = 1.524 atm

<span>potassium sulfate - polyatomic </span>
Balanced chemical equation: S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g).
Sulfur change oxidation number from 0 to +4 (oxidation) and oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to -2 (reduction).
Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is very common volcanic gas.
Fossil fuel combustion increases the acidity of rain because the sulfur dioxide is produced.
Because of fuel combustion, sulfur dioxide goes up into the atmosphere as the hot gases rise, than it reacts with water and oxygen in the air and form sulfuric acid.
