Question

if a baloon filled with dry hydrogen weighs 35 gram,but weighs 440 grams when filled with the vapour of an organic compound. calculate the vapour density and RMM of the organic compound.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The vapor density of the organic compound is approximately 12.57

2) The relative molar mass (RMM) of the organic compound is approximately 25.14 grams  

Explanation:

1) The mass of the balloon filled with dry hydrogen = 35 grams

The mass of the balloon filled with vapor of an organic compound = 440 grams

The vapor density = (Weight of a given volume of gas)/(Weight of equal volume of hydrogen)

The vapor density of the organic compound = (440)/(35) ≈ 12.57

The vapor density of the organic compound ≈ 12.57

2) The relative molar mass (RMM) = 2 × vapor density

The relative molar mass (RMM) of the organic compound = 2 × vapor density of the organic compound

The relative molar mass (RMM) of the organic compound ≈ 2 × 12.57 ≈ 25.14 grams  

The relative molar mass (RMM) of the organic compound ≈ 25.14 grams
