Option 3- Avogadro's, Charles's and Boyle's
Answer: The answer is 2.3 x 10 4's.
This is going to be a <em>phase </em>change!
To solve this problem, we must assume ideal gas behaviour so
that we can use Graham’s law:
vA / vB = sqrt (MW_B / MW_A)
where,
<span>vA = speed of diffusion of A (HBR)</span>
vB = speed of diffusion of B (unknown)
MW_B = molecular weight of B (unkown)
MW_A = molar weight of HBr = 80.91 amu
We know from the given that:
vA / vB = 1 / 1.49
So,
1/1.49 = sqrt (MW_B / 80.91)
MW_B = 36.44 g/mol
Since this unknown is also hydrogen halide, therefore this
must be in the form of HX.
HX = 36.44 g/mol , therefore:
x = 35.44 g/mol
From the Periodic Table, Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of
35.44 g/mol. Therefore the hydrogen halide is:
HCl

BIOMEDICAL IMPORTANCE
In addition to serving as precursors of nucleic acids, purine and pyrimidine nucleotides participate in metabolic functions as diverse as energy metabolism, protein synthesis, regulation of enzyme activity, and signal transduction.
