K ---> 38.7 g / 39.1 g/mol = 0.99
N ---> 13.9 g / 14.0 g/mol = 0.99
O ---> 47.4 g / 16.0 g/mol = 2.96

Divide by smallest:

K ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
N ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
O ---> 2.96 / 0.99 = 3

How is the Hvap used to calculate the mass of liquid boiled by 1 kJ of energy?
coldgirl [10]
The heat used in phase changes is calculated by multiplying the mass of the substance by the energy of the phase change. In this case, for liquid to boil, we would find total heat by multiply the mass of liquid by the latent heat of vaporization (Hvap). If we are instead given the Hvap and the total heat of 1 kJ, we would divide 1 kJ by the Hvap (which is usually in kJ/kg) to get the mass of liquid boiled (in kg).

The rate of effusion of an unknown gas was measured and found to be 11.9 mL/min. Under identical conditions, the rate of effusio
iren2701 [21]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) CO_2

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

or,

(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}       ..........(1)

where,

R_1 = rate of effusion of unknown gas = 11.9\text{ mL }min^{-1}

R_2 = rate of effusion of oxygen gas = 14.0\text{ mL }min^{-1}

M_1 = molar mass of unknown gas  = ?

M_2 = molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

(\frac{11.9\text{ mL }min^{-1}}{14.0\text{ mL }min^{-1}})=\sqrt{\frac{32g/mole}{M_1}}

M_1=44.2g/mole

The unknown gas could be carbon dioxide (CO_2) that has approximately 44 g/mole of molar mass.

Thus, the unknown gas could be carbon dioxide (CO_2)
