The relative molecular mass of the gas : 64 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Helium rate = 4x an unknown gas

Required

The relative molecular mass of the gas

Solution

Graham's Law

$\tt \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1} }$

r₁=4 x r₂

r₁ = Helium rate

r₂ = unknown gas rate

M₁= relative molecular mass of Helium = 4 g/mol

M₂ = relative molecular mass of the gas

Input the value :

$\tt \dfrac{4r_2}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{4} }\\\\16=\dfrac{M_2}{4}\\\\M_2=64~g/mol$

In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide Al2O3 dissolved in molten c

Darya [45]

Answer:

0.382g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reduction half-reaction

Al³⁺(aq) + 3 e⁻ ⇒ Al(s)

Step 2: Calculate the mass of Al produced when a current of 100. A passes through the cell for 41.0 s

We will use the following relationships.

1 A = 1 C/s

1 mole of electrons has a charge of 96486 C (Faraday's constant)

1 mole of Al is produced when 3 moles of electrons pass through the cell.

The molar mass of Al is 26.98 g/mol.

The mass of Al produced is:

$41.0s \times \frac{100C}{s} \times \frac{1mole^{-} }{96486C} \times \frac{1molAl}{3mole^{-} } \times \frac{26.98gAl}{1molAl} = 0.382gAl$

Lithium has two stable isotopes with masses of 6.01512 amu and 7.01600 amu. The average molar mass of Li is 6.941 amu. What is t

Dvinal [7]

Answer : The percent abundance of Li isotope-1 and Li isotope-2 is, 6.94 % and 93.1 % respectively.

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 be 'x' and the fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 will be '100-x'

For Li isotope-1 :

Mass of Li isotope-1 = 6.01512 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 = x

For Li isotope-2 :

Mass of Li isotope-2 = 7.01600 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100-x

Average atomic mass of Li = 6.941 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$6.941=[(6.01512\times x)+(7.01600\times (100-x))]$

By solving the term 'x', we get:

$x=694.048$

Percent abundance of Li isotope-1 = $\frac{694.048}{100}=6.94\%$

Percent abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100 - x = 100-6.94 = 93.1 %

What is the molarity of a solution in which 0.732 moles of hcl are dissolved in 0.975 liters of solution?

posledela

Molarity is moles divided by liters so do .732 divided by .975 liters.

What is the measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction? percent yield annual yield actual yield theoretical yield

artcher [175]

Answer:

Precent yield

Explanation:

This is takes into account how much of a substance should have been created (theoretical yield) and compares it to what was actually created (the actual yield).
