Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic salt with the formula MgSO4(H2O)x where 0≤x≤7. It is often encountered as the heptahydrate sulfate mineral epsomite (MgSO4·7H2O), commonly called Epsom salt.

A sample of gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.98 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number of m

kogti [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown gas is $\mathbf{ 51.865 \ g/mol}$

Explanation:

Let assume that the gas is O2 gas

O2 gas is to effuse through a porous barrier in time t₁ = 4.98 minutes.

Under the same conditions;

the same number of moles of an unknown gas requires time t₂ = 6.34 minutes to effuse through the same barrier.

From Graham's Law of Diffusion;

Graham's Law of Diffusion states that, at a constant temperature and pressure; the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

i.e

$R \ \alpha \ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}$

$R = \dfrac{k}{d}$ where K = constant

If we compare the rate o diffusion of two gases;

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}}$

Since the density of a gas d is proportional to its relative molecular mass M. Then;

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}$

Rate is the reciprocal of time ; i.e

$R = \dfrac{1}{t}$

Thus; replacing the value of R into the above previous equation;we have:

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}={\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}$

We can equally say:

${\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}$

${\dfrac{6.34}{4.98}}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{32}}$

$M_2 = 32 \times ( \dfrac{6.34}{4.98})^2$

$M_2 = 32 \times ( 1.273092369)^2$

$M_2 = 32 \times 1.62076418$

$\mathbf{M_2 = 51.865 \ g/mol}$

An analytical chemist weighs out 0.188 g of an unknown triprotic acid into a 250 mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark wit

Anon25 [30]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of unknown triprotic acid is 97.66 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of triprotic acid

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=3\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0600M\\V_2=95.9mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.0600\times 95.9\\\\M_1=0.0077M$

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.0077 M

Given mass of triprotic acid = 0.188 g

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0077M=\frac{0.188\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of triprotic acid}\times 250}\\\\\text{Molar mass of triprotic acid}=97.66g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of unknown triprotic acid is 97.66 g/mol

With initial consent for a warrantless search, police spent three days searching a

xz_007 [3.2K]

Michigan v. Tyler was the Supreme court ruling that they violated when

warrantless search was done.

<h3>Michigan v. Tyler case</h3>

The Court of Appeals of the State of Michigan affirmed the conviction for the

exception of a warrantless search only in the case of an arson.

In this case, there was no arson involved which is against the rule of law as

various items (stolen money, illegal weapons, drugs) were only searched for.

This thereby violates the U.S. Supreme Court ruling between Michigan v.

Tyler.
