The change from figure one to figure two was most likely caused by erosion. Erosion is the process of something being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents.
The molar mass of the unknown gas is 184.96 g/mol
<h3>Graham's law of diffusion </h3>
This states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass i.e
R ∝ 1/ √M
R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
<h3>How to determine the molar mass of the unknown gas </h3>
The following data were obtained from the question:
- Rate of unknown gas (R₁) = R
- Rate of CH₄ (R₂) = 3.4R
- Molar mass of CH₄ (M₂) = 16 g/mol
- Molar mass of unknown gas (M₁) =?
The molar mass of the unknown gas can be obtained as follow:
R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
R / 3.4R = √(16 / M₁)
1 / 3.4 = √(16 / M₁)
Square both side
(1 / 3.4)² = 16 / M₁
Cross multiply
(1 / 3.4)² × M₁ = 16
Divide both side by (1 / 3.4)²
M₁ = 16 / (1 / 3.4)²
M₁ = 184.96 g/mol
