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
Answer is: <span>C. propanal.
1-propanol is primary alcohol. With weak oxidizing agent primary alcohol gives aldehyde and with strong oxidizing agent primary alcohol gives carbonic acid.
</span>Oxidation of 1-propanol with <span>Na</span>₂<span>Cr</span>₂<span>O</span>₇<span> and sulfuric acid</span><span> gives propanal and o</span><span>xidation with </span>chromic acid<span> gives </span>propionic acid<span>.</span>
