The central atom is carbon with three hydrogen and one chlorine atom around it. There are no unshared electrons on the carbon so it is tetrahedral.

A sample of n2 effuses in 255 s. how long will the same size sample of cl2 take to effuse?

7nadin3 [17]

For this problem, we use Graham's Effusion Law to find out the rate of effusion of chlorine gas. The formula is as follows:

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

Let 1 be N₂ while 2 be Cl₂

255/R₂ = √(28/70.8)
Solving for R₂,
R₂ = 405.5 s

<em>Thus, it would take 405.5 s to effuse chlorine gas.</em>

Relative formula mass of glucose? (C6H12O6)

Rom4ik [11]

To find the mass of glucose, you must multiply the atomic weight of each of the elements in the molecule by the subscripts in the formula:

$C_{6}=6*(12.01g)=72.06g$

$H_{12}=12*(1.008g)=12.096g$

$O_{6}=6*(15.999g)=95.994g$

Then you add all of them together:

$72.06g+12.096g+95.994g=180.15g$

Therefore, the molar weight of glucose is 180.15 grams.
