Under identical conditions, separate samples of O2 and an unknown gas were allowed to effuse through identical membranes simulta

neously. After a certain amount of time, it was found that 4.644.64 mL of O2 had passed through the membrane, but only 3.123.12 mL of of the unknown gas had passed through. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas? unknown molar mass: g/mol

Answer:

70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.

Explanation:

Effusion is defined as rate of change of volume with respect to time.

Rate of Effusion=\frac{Volume}{Time}

Effusion rate of oxygen gas after time t = E=\frac{4.64 mL}{t}

Molar mass of oxygen gas = M = 32 g/mol

Effusion rate of unknown gas after time t = E'=\frac{3.12 mL}{t}

Molar mass of unknown gas = M'

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

\frac{E}{E'}=\sqrt{\frac{M'}{M}}

\frac{\frac{4.64 mL}{t}}{\frac{3.12 mL}{t}}=\sqrt{\frac{M'}{32 g/mol}}

M' = 70.77 g/mol

70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.

You need to make 10 mL of 2 mg/ml solution of protein and you have 25 mg/mL solution. How much protein solution and water do you
meriva

Answer:

0.8 mL of protein solution, 9.2 mL of water

Explanation:

The dilution equation can be used to relate the concentration C₁ and volume V₁ of the stock/undiluted solution to the concentration C₂ and volume V₂ of the diluted solution:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

We would like to calculate the value for V₁, the volume of the inital solution that we need to dilute to make the required solution.

V₁ = (C₂V₂) / C₁ = (2mg/mL x 10mL) / (25 mg/mL) = 0.8 mL

Thus, a volume of 0.8 mL of protein solution should be diluted with enough water to bring the total volume to 10 mL. The amount of water needed is:

(10 mL - 0.8 mL) = 9.2 mL

Explain why alkanes can be described as hydrocarbons.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

<h3>The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines alkanes as "acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms". ... The number of carbon atoms may be considered as the size of the alkane.</h3>

How many sugar molecules are in 0.734 mol sugar, C6H12O6? Please explain
Dmitrij [34]
To answer this question, you need to know the Avogadro number. To find the amount of sugar molecule from mol unit you need to multiply it by the Avogadro number.
The calculation should be like this: <span>0.734 mol * 6.02*10^23 molecule/ mol= 4.41 * 10^23 molecule</span>

How much heat is released when 75 g of octane is burned completely if the enthalpy of combustion is -5,500 kJ/mol C8H18
AnnyKZ [126]
<span>Enthalpy change is the total heat that is absorbed or evolved in a certain reaction that is being carried in a constant pressure system. It can be calculated by the product of the specific heat of the substance and the difference of the final temperature and the initial temperature. For this case, the enthalpy of combustion is given, so we simply multiply the amount of octane present to the enthalpy given to determine the total heat that is released. 

Heat = 75 g ( 1 mol / 114.23 g ) (- 5500 kJ / mol ) = - 3611.14 kJ

The negative sign in the calculated value represents that this heat is being released in the process.</span>
