B. carbon because it's atomic number is 6
To estimate the molar mass of the gas, we use Graham's law of effusion. This relates the rates of effusion of gases with their molar mass. We calculate as follows:
r1/r2 = √(m2/m1)
where r1 would be the effusion rate of the gas and r2 is for CO2, M1 is the molar mass of the gas and M2 would be the molar mass of CO2 (44.01 g/mol)
r1 = 1.6r2
1.6 = √(44.01 / m1)
m1 = 17.19 g/mol
Number of atom in one mole = 6.022 × 10²³
So, in 3.5 moles, it would be: = 6.022 × 10²³ * 3.5 = 2.1 × 10²⁴
In short, Your Answer would be 2.1 × 10²⁴ atoms
Hope this helps!
by making sure they are in the lowest ratio. by adding them to see if they total 100. by checking that they are whole-number multiples. by dividing them by the molar mass.
