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
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 :
The atomic mass of an element is the average relative mass of its atoms as compared with an atom of carbon-12 whose mass is taken as 12. In terms of percentages of different isotopes, the average atomic mass can be determined as follows: = ∑(
X
)/100. Where,
is the percentage abundance of isotope with atomic number
.
So, average atomic mass of neon = = 20.177 amu.
Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced combustion reaction is,:
Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31
