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

what conclusions can be made about the relationship between metallic character and the atomic radius?
kolezko [41]

We have to get the relationship between metallic character and atomic radius.

Metallic character increases with increase in atomic radius and decrease with decrease of atomic radius.

If electrons from outermost shell of an element can be removed easily, that atom can be considered to have more metallic character.

With increase in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electron decreases which facilitates the release of electron.

With decrease in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electrons increases, so electrons are hold tightly to nucleus. Hence, removal of electron from outermost shell becomes difficult making the atom less metallic in nature.

Which law is associated with inertia? *
defon

Newton first law of motion

Explanation:

This law by Newton states that an object will remain at rest, or a moving object will stay in motion in a straight line and with the same speed unless an external and unbalanced force acts on the object.

One application of this Newtonian law is in the launching of projectiles like ballistic missiles.  A ballistic missile parabolic path is affected by its inertia and the unbalanced forces acting on the object such as air resistance/ drag and gravity.

If one were asked to choose between paper or plastic which would be chosen and which one would benefit the environment?
vekshin1
It would be plastic Becaus we can recreate things with plastic and other things that are recyclable. Since,we mostly cut down trees everyday for paper,not knowing that we are wasting natural resources, and destroying animal homes and food.
