Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we can use the mathematical relation:

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

Where, ν is the speed of light in a gas <em>(ν = 449 m/s)</em>,

R is the universal gas constant <em>(R = 8.314 J/mol.K)</em>,

T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin <em>(T = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K)</em>,

M is the molar mass of the gas in <em>(Kg/mol)</em>.

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

(449 m/s) = √ (3(8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / M,

<em>by squaring the two sides:</em>

(449 m/s)² = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K)) / M,

∴ M = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / (449 m/s)² = 7308.006 / 201601 = 0.03625 Kg/mol.

<em>∴ The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.</em>

A pupil adds 5 cm of 12 mol.dm sulphuric acids to make a 250 cmº solution. Calculate the
klemol [59]

Answer:

0.500 mol/dm³

Explanation:

Using the formula below;

CaVa = CbVb

Where;

Ca = concentration of acid (mol/dm³)

Cb = concentration of base (mol/dm³)

Va = volume of acid (cm³)

Vb = volume of base (cm³)

In accordance to the information provided in this question is;

Va = 5cm³

Vb = 250 cm³

Ca = 12 mol/dm³

Cb = ?

Using CaVa = CbVb

12 × 5 = Cb × 250

60 = 120Cb

Cb = 60/120

Cb = 0.500 mol/dm³
