Answer:  The mass of the gas is 18.3 g/mol.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

\frac{Rate_{X}}{Rate_{C_3H_8}}=1.55

\frac{Rate_{X}}{Rate_{C_3H_8}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{C_3H_8}}{M_{X}}}

1.55=\sqrt{\frac{44}{M_{X}}

Squaring both sides and solving for M_{X}

M_{X}=18.3g/mol

Hence, the molar mas of unknown gas is 18.3 g/mol.

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the unknown gas is 18.3 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

We are given:

\text{Rate}_{\text{(unknown gas)}}=1.55\times \text{Rate}_{C_3H_8}

We know that:

Molar mass of propane = 44 g/mol

Taking the ratio of the rate of effusion of the gases, we get:

\frac{\text{Rate}_{\text{(unknwon gas)}}}{\text{Rate}_{C_3H_8}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{C_3H_8}}{M_{\text{(unknown gas)}}}}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1.55\times \text{Rate}_{C_3H_8}}{\text{Rate}_{C_3H_8}}=\sqrt{\frac{44}{M_{\text{(unknown gas)}}}}

1.55=\sqrt{\frac{44}{M_{\text{(unknown gas)}}}}\\\\1.55^2=\frac{44}{M_{\text{unknwon gas}}}\\\\M_{\text{unknwon gas}}=\frac{44}{2.4025}\\\\M_{\text{unknwon gas}}=18.3g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the unknown gas is 18.3 g/mol

Is cooking raw tomatoes a physical or a chemical change?<br>Explain why?
salantis [7]

When you are asked a question like this, you can always ask yourself this question. Can I change it back after this change? For example, if you are burning wood, you cannot bring it back to wood after you burn it, therefore, it is a chemical change. However, if you boil and evaporate water, you can make the water condense again back into its liquid form. In this case, you cannot bring the tomato back to its raw state. Therefore, cooking raw tomatoes is a chemical change.

How do cells reproduce? ∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Cells divide to reproduce. There are two primary methods used, one for somatic cells, which compose the organism’s body, and one for reproductive cells, or gametes.

Scientists call the process of somatic cell division mitosis. Mitosis has six distinct steps in which the cell organizes and copies the DNA in the nucleus. Once copied, each new cell has its own copy of the DNA. The six steps of mitosis are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. Some authorities consider the non-dividing portion of the cell’s lifecycle, known as interphase, to be one of seven steps involved in mitosis; however, interphase cells are not actively dividing.

Sex cells, such as sperm or eggs, must divide differently. Sex cells only possess one-half of the DNA that makes up a new animal. That way, when they combine, the resulting organism gets half of its DNA from its mother and half from its father. Because sex cells only want half of the DNA in each cell, they go through a different division process called meiosis. In meiosis, the cells split a second time, which yields four daughter cells rather than two as with mitosis; however, this provides each daughter cell with 23 chromosomes in contrast to the 46 chromosomes in somatic cells.

How many grams are in 1 mole of Pb3(PO4)4?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

In 1 mol of Pb₃(PO₄)₄ occupies 1001.48 grams

Explanation:

This compound is the lead (IV) phosphate.

Grams that occupy 1 mole, means the molar mass of the compound

Pb = 207.2  .3 = 621.6 g/m

P = 30.97 .4 = 123.88 g/m

O = (16 .  4) . 4 = 256 g/m

621.6 g/m + 123.88 g/m + 256 g/m = 1001.48 g/m
