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

How to do limiting reagents for chemistry?
gavmur [86]
Balance the chemical equation for the chemical reaction.
Convert the given information into moles.
Use stoichiometry for each individual reactant to find the mass of product produced.
The reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent.
The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent.
To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.

A 10-liter container has 2 moles of oxygen at a pressure of 92 kpa. The effective speed (rms) of the oxygen molecules in the gas
bezimeni [28]

The effective speed (rms) of the oxygen gas is 293.68 m/s.

<h3></h3><h3>What is Root-mean-square velocity?</h3>

Root mean square velocity is the square root of the mean of squares of the velocity of individual gas molecules

v_{rms}=\sqrt[]{\frac{3RT}{M} }

<em>where </em>R = universal gas constant

M = molar mass of the gas in kg/mol

T = temperature in Kelvin

According to the ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

RT = \frac{PV}{n}

Substitute in the rms velocity formula,

v_{rms} = \sqrt[]{\frac{3PV}{nM} }

P = 92 kPa, V = 10 L, n = 2 moles and M = 32 x 10⁻³ kg/mol

v_{rms} = \sqrt[]{\frac{3\times92\times10}{2\times32\times10^-^3} }

=293.68 m/s

Thus, the effective speed (rms) of O₂ gas is 293.68 m/s.

Draw the structure of the neutral product formed in the reaction of dimethyl malonate and methyl vinyl ketone.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction between dimethyl malonate which is an active methylene group with an (∝, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound) i.e methyl vinyl ketone is known as a Micheal Addition reaction. The reaction mechanism starts with the base attack on the β-carbon to remove the acidic ∝-hydrogens and form a carbanion. The carbanion formed(enolate ion) attacks the methyl vinyl ketone(i.e. a nucleophilic attack at the β-carbon) to give a Micheal addition product, this is followed by the protonation to give the neutral product.
