The rate of effusion of an unknown gas was measured and found to be 11.9 mL/min. Under identical conditions, the rate of effusio

n of pure oxygen (O2) gas is 14.0 mL/min. Based on this information, the identity of the unknown gas could be:A) NOB) CO₂C) C₂H₂D) F₂

Answer : The correct option is, (B) CO_2

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

or,

(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}       ..........(1)

where,

R_1 = rate of effusion of unknown gas = 11.9\text{ mL }min^{-1}

R_2 = rate of effusion of oxygen gas = 14.0\text{ mL }min^{-1}

M_1 = molar mass of unknown gas  = ?

M_2 = molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

(\frac{11.9\text{ mL }min^{-1}}{14.0\text{ mL }min^{-1}})=\sqrt{\frac{32g/mole}{M_1}}

M_1=44.2g/mole

The unknown gas could be carbon dioxide (CO_2) that has approximately 44 g/mole of molar mass.

Thus, the unknown gas could be carbon dioxide (CO_2)
