Answer:

28.16 g/mol

Explanation:

From Graham's law;

Let the rate of diffusion of gas X be 1.25

Let the rate of diffusion of CO2 be 1

Molecular mass of gas X= M

Molecular mass of CO2 = 44g/mol

1.25/1=√44/M

(1.25/1)^2 = 44/M

1.5625 = 44/M

M= 44/1.5625

M= 28.16 g/mol

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by:

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by Lister. The correct option is E

Explanation:

Phenol( carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound. It has the following properties:

- it's soluble in water

- it's a weak acid and

- highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution

In Medical field, phenol was first used as an antiseptic by Joseph Lister.Joseph Lister was a student at University College London under Robert Liston, later rising to the rank of Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He believed that patients who passed through surgery, died due to infections caused by microorganisms.He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur. Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection. He made use of the carbolic acid by soaking a clean cloth in them, and placing it over the surgical wounds of patients.

How many liters of carbon dioxide will 0.5 moles of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) absorb?

Elden [556K]

Answer : The volume of carbon dioxide will be, 5.6122 L

Solution : Given,

Moles of LiOH = 0.5 moles

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mole

Density of carbon dioxide = 0.00196 g/ml

First we have to calculate the mass of carbon dioxide.

The balanced reaction will be,

$2LiOH+CO_2\rightarrow Li_2CO_3+H_2O$

From the reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of LiOH absorbs 44 grams of carbon dioxide

So, 0.5 moles of LiOH absorbs $\frac{0.5moles}{2moles}\times 44g=11$ grams of carbon dioxide

Mass of carbon dioxide = 11 g

Density of carbon dioxide = 0.00196 g/ml

Now we have to calculate the volume of carbon dioxide.

$Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}$

$0.00196g/ml=\frac{11g}{volume}$

Volume of carbon dioxide = 5612.24 ml = 5.6122 L (1 L = 1000 ml)

Therefore, the volume of carbon dioxide will be, 5.6122 L
