A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 0.225times as fast as gas. Write the chemical formula of the gas.
Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must apply Graham's law of diffusion. This law states that "the rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass at constant temperature and pressure".
Mathematically;

r₁ is the rate of diffusion of gas 1
r₂ is the rate of diffusion of gas 2
m₁ is the molar mass of gas 1
m₂ is the molar mass of gas 2
let gas 2 be the given H₂;
molar mass of H₂ = 2 x 1 = 2gmol⁻¹
rate of diffusion is 0.225;
i .e r1/r2 = 0.225
0.225 = √2 / √ m₁
0.225 = 1.414 / √ m₁
√ m₁ = 6.3
m₁ = 6.3² = 39.5g/mol
The gas is likely Argon since argon has similar molecular mass
For what? what is your question
Your answer is B, conservation of mass
Recall that percent yield is given by: %Yeild = actual yeild/theoretical yeild x100
During experiments, there are errors made:
• uncertainty in measurements
• losses of reactants and products
• impurity in reactants
• losses during separation (e.g. filtration or purification)
• Some side reactions might also happen.
Among the given options, only conservation of mass does not contribute to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield.
It is a graph. It shows observations and then you record your results with any of the graph types.
