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

A 23.7 g piece of iron at 54.9°C is cooled and releases 338 J of heat. The specific heat of iron is 0.450 J/g°C.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.
