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

For the skeletal chemical equation BF3(g) + NaH(s) → B2H6(g) + NaF(s) what is the coefficient of B2H6 in the balanced equation?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1

Explanation:

The unbalanced Chemical equation is shown below as:-

BF_3+NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+NaF

On the left hand side,  

There are 1 boron atom and 3 fluorine atoms and 1 sodium and hydrogen atoms.

On the right hand side,  

There are 2 boron atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms and 1 sodium and fluorine atoms.

Thus,  

leftside, BF_3 must be multiplied by 2 to balance boron and right side, NaF must be multiplied by 6 to balance fluorine. Left side, NaH must be multiplied by 6 to balance sodium and hydrogen atoms.

Thus, the balanced reaction is:-

2BF_3+6NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+6NaF

<u>Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1</u>

Give the net ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of Al(C2H3O2)3 and LiNO3 are mixed. Giv
RSB [31]

Answer: No reaction occurs

Explanation:.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

The given chemical equation is:

Al(C_2H_3O_2)_3(aq)+3LiNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Al(NO_3)_3(aq)+3LiC_2H_3O_2(s)

The complete ionic equation is;

Al^{3+}(aq)+3C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)+3Li^+(aq)+3NO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3NO_3^-(aq)+3Li^+(aq)+3C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)

The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are are not involved in net ionic equation.

Hence, there is no net reaction.
