Answer:
The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.
Explanation:
- To solve this problem, we can use the mathematical relation:
ν =
Where, ν is the speed of light in a gas <em>(ν = 449 m/s)</em>,
R is the universal gas constant <em>(R = 8.314 J/mol.K)</em>,
T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin <em>(T = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K)</em>,
M is the molar mass of the gas in <em>(Kg/mol)</em>.
ν =
(449 m/s) = √ (3(8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / M,
<em>by squaring the two sides:</em>
(449 m/s)² = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K)) / M,
∴ M = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / (449 m/s)² = 7308.006 / 201601 = 0.03625 Kg/mol.
<em>∴ The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.</em>
The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃
<h3>Further explanation </h3>The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components
The principle of determining empirical formula
- Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
- Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass
Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)
Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)
Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :
mol ratio C : H : O =
