Answer:

Mud was deposited first, then sand.

Explanation:

This could have been a tidal mud flat succeeded by a sandy beach, or along the bed and course of a river with either mountain building upstream causing faster flow and carrying of mud farther away or the sea level falling with mud deposits being found closer to the new coastline. Hope this helps!

What is the molar mass of a gas if a flask with a volume of 3. 16 l contains 9. 33 grams of the gas at 32. 0°c and 1. 00 atm?

Serhud [2]

The molar mass of a gas if a flask with a volume of 3. 16 L contains 9. 33 grams of the gas at 32. 0°C and 1. 00 atm is 1.17g/mol

Calculation ,

In this question we have to fist find the number of moles of gas by using ideal gas equation and from the help of number of moles we can determine molar mass.

According to ideal gas equation which is also known as ideal law ,

PV = nRT ...( i )

where P is the pressure of the gas = 1 atm

V is the volume of the gas in the flask with volume = 3. 16 L

R is the universal gas constant = 0.082 atm L/K mol

T is the temperature = 32. 0°C = 32 + 273 = 305 K

n is the number of moles = ?

Putting the value of Pressure P , volume V , temperature T , number of moles n and universal gas constant R in the equation (i) we get ,

1 atm ×3. 16 L = n× 0.082 atm L/K mol ×305 K

n = 1 atm ×3. 16 L / 0.082 atm L/K mol × 305 K = 0.126 mole

number of mole of a gas = 0.126 mole = given mass/ molar mass

molar mass = number of moles × Given mass = 0.126 × 9. 33 = 1.17g/mol
