Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown gas is \mathbf{ 51.865 \  g/mol}

Explanation:

Let assume that  the gas is  O2 gas

O2 gas is to effuse through a porous barrier in time t₁ = 4.98 minutes.

Under the same conditions;

the same number of moles of an unknown gas requires  time t₂  =  6.34 minutes to effuse through the same barrier.

From Graham's Law of Diffusion;

Graham's Law of Diffusion states that, at a constant temperature and pressure; the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

i.e

R \  \alpha  \ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}

R = \dfrac{k}{d}  where K = constant

If we compare the rate o diffusion of two gases;

\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}}

Since the density of a gas d is proportional to its relative molecular mass M. Then;

\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}

Rate is the reciprocal of time ; i.e

R = \dfrac{1}{t}

Thus; replacing the value of R into the above previous equation;we have:

\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}={\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}

We can equally say:

{\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}=  {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}

{\dfrac{6.34}{4.98}}=  {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{32}}

M_2 = 32 \times ( \dfrac{6.34}{4.98})^2

M_2 = 32 \times ( 1.273092369)^2

M_2 = 32 \times 1.62076418

\mathbf{M_2 = 51.865 \  g/mol}

92 grams of ethanol,C2H5OH, is dissolved in 1 liter of solution. Determine the molarity (M)
const2013 [10]

Answer:  1.997 M

Explanation:

molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution or M = \frac{mol}{L}

first we have to find our moles of solute (mol), which you can find by dividing the mass of solute by molar mass of solute

mass of solute: 92 g

molar mass of solute: 46.08 g/mol

let's plug it in:

\frac{92 g}{46.08 g/mol} = 1.997 mol

next, we plug it into our original equation:

\frac{1.997mol}{1 L} = 1.997 M
