polyethylene contains HC=CH units.
mass of this is 26 gram/mol
number of such units =13500/26
To answer this question, you need to know <span>Graham's Law of Effusion/Diffusion formula. In this formula, the rate of diffusion/effusion would be influenced by the mass. As the molecule has bigger mass, the rate should be slower because it will be harder to pass the membrane. The calculation should be:</span>
<span>Rate 1 / Rate 2 = √[M2/M1]
</span>4.11/1= √[M2/2]
M2=33.78 g/mol
A. would not help and maybe make it harder to get accurate measurements.
b. would make more delta T which will improve its accuracy
c. will also increase delta T.
