Answer:

28.93 g/mol

Explanation:

This is an extension of Graham's Law of Effusion where \frac{R1}{R2} = \sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}

We're only talking about molar mass and time (t) here so we'll just concentrate on \sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}. Notice how the molar mass and time are on the same position, recall effusion is when gas escapes from a container through a small hole. The time it takes it to leave depends on the molar mass. If the gas is heavy, like Xe, it would take a longer time (4.83 minutes). If it was light it would leave in less time, that gives us somewhat an idea what our element could be, we know that it's atleast an element before Xenon.

Let's plug everything in and solve for M2. I chose M2 to be the unknown here because it's easier to have it basically as a whole number already.

\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } = \frac{2.29}{4.83}

The square root is easier to deal with if you take it out in the first step, so let's remove it by squaring each side by 2, the opposite of square root essentially.

(\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } )^2= (\frac{2.29}{4.83})^2

{\frac{M2}{131} } = (0.47)^2

{\frac{M2}{131} } = 0.22

M2= 0.22 x 131

M2= 28.93 g/mol

When the temperature of a reacting mixture increases, the rate of reaction increases. Which statement explains why the rate of r
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

This is one of the factors that affects chemical reactions

Temperature:This is because when the temperature is raised energy in form of heat is supplied to the reacting particles and so the rate of reaction is increased.

What is true about resonance structures? Select the correct answer below: They are all different molecules. The interconvert wit
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>They each partially describe the bonding in a molecule.</em>

Explanation:

Some chemical molecules cannot be described completely by using only one Lewis structure. In these cases, we can describe the molecule by drawing 2 or more Lewis structures, and the structures are called <u>resonance structures</u>. The overall molecular structure is explained by all the resonance structures together. So, they each describe the bonding in the molecule only partially.

A compound is formed when 171.2 g of carbon reacts with 28.8 g of hydrogen. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound
IgorLugansk [536]
Following the law of conservation of mass, the mass percent of hydrogen in the resulting compound is 14.4%(wt/wt). This is assuming that all of the carbon reacts with all of the hydrogen. The solution is as follows:

mass % = mass hydrogen*100/total mass = 28.8*100/(28.8+171.2) = 14.4%
