The molecular weight of unknown gas : 23.46 g/mol
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
A vessel contains 10% of oxygen and 90% of an unknown gas.
diffuses rate of mixed gas = 86 s
diffuses rate of O₂ = 75 s
Required
the molecular weight of unknown gas (M)
Solution
The molecular weight of mixed gas :(M O₂=32 g/mol)
Graham's Law :
Silicon dioxide is SiO2. Silicon has 4 valence electrons, while each oxygen has 6 valence electrons. This can be shown as
** * *
** O * * Si * * O **
* * **
At points where there is one valence electron, represented by a lone *, the electrons will be 'shared' between the atoms. This will make silicon dioxide appear as
** *--------------- *
** O *--* Si * ------ * O **
*------- * **
, as the lines with no arrows indicate that each electron moves between the atoms, and does not stay with one forever.
The relationship between mass of matter per unit volume is known as :
