Answer:

The atomic mass of the unknown gas is 3.982 u

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A gas contains:

49.16 % N2 gas

19.85 % Br2 gas

9.95 % CO2 gas

21.04 % of an unknown gas

The average atomic mass of the gas mixture is 50.71 u

Molar mass of N2 = 28.0134 u

Molar mass of Br2 = 159.808 u

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.009 u

Step 2: Calculate tthe atomic mass of the unknown gas

50.71 = 0.4916 * 28.0134 + 0.1985 * 159.808 + 0.0995 * 44.009 + 0.2104 * X

50.71 = 13.77138744 + 31.721888 + 4.3788955 + 0.2104 X

0.83782906= 0.2104X

X = 0.83782906 / 0.2104

X = 3.982 u

The atomic mass of the unknown gas is 3.982 u

Answer:

Atomic mass of unknown gas is 4u

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of a gas is defined as the sum of molecular mass * percentage of each component in the mixture.

In the problem:

50.71u = 28×49.16% + 159.8×19.85% + 44×9.95% + X×21.04%

<em>Where X is atomic mass of unknown gas</em>

50.71u = 49.86 + X×21.04%

0.8469 = X×21.04%

<em>4u = X</em>

Atomic mass of unknown gas is 4u

I DON'T UNDERSTAND! PLEASE HELP.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

A would be the lowest, then C, and B would be the highest.

Explanation:

Elements tend to become more reactive as you move down the periodic table. This happens because the atoms become progressively larger and lose their hold on the outer eletrons more easily.

Can chlorine replace iodine?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The reactivity of the halogen group (group 17) decreases from top to bottom within the group. Fluorine is the most reactive halogen, while iodine is the least. Since chlorine is above bromine, it is more reactive than bromine and can replace it in a halogen replacement reaction.
