A gas of unknown identity diffuses at a rate of 155 mL/s in a diffusion apparatus in which carbon dioxide diffuses at the rate o

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

19.07 g mol^-1

Explanation:

The computation of the molecular mass of the unknown gas is shown below:

As we know that

$\frac{Diffusion\ rate\ of unknown\ gas }{CO_{2}\ diffusion\ rate} = \frac{\sqrt{CO_{2\ molar\ mass}} }{\sqrt{Unknown\ gas\ molercular\ mass } }$

where,

Diffusion rate of unknown gas = 155 mL/s

CO_2 diffusion rate = 102 mL/s

CO_2 molar mass = 44 g mol^-1

Unknown gas molercualr mass = M_unknown

Now placing these values to the above formula

$\frac{155mL/s}{102mL/s} = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ 1.519 = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}}}{1.519} \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{44 g mol^{-1}}{(1.519)^{2}}$

After solving this, the molecular mass of the unknown gas is

= 19.07 g mol^-1
