Question

A sample of N2O effuses from a container in 47s .

Answer 1

Answer:

112.92 s.

Explanation:

Let M₁ be the molar mass of N₂O

Let t₁ be the time taken for N₂O to effuse.

Let M₂ be the molar mass of I₂

Let t₂ be the time taken for I₂ to effuse.

Molar mass (M₁) of N₂O = (14×2) + 16 = 28 + 16 = 44 g/mol

Time (t₁) of effusion of N₂O = 47 s

Molar mass (M₂) of I₂ = 127 × 2 = 254 g/mol

Time (t₂ ) of effusion of I₂ =?

The time take for the same amount of I₂ to effuse can be obtained as follow:

t₂/t₁ = √(M₂/M₁)

t₂/47 = √(254 / 44)

Cross multiply

t₂ = 47 × √(254 / 44)

t₂ = 112.92 s

Therefore, it will take 112.92 s for the same amount of I₂ to effuse.
