Answer:

80.92, Krypton

Explanation:

<u>What is effusion?</u>

• It is a process where gas escapes through a pinhole (a very small hole) into a region of low pressure or vacuum

<u>Graham's law of effusion of </u><u>gas</u>

• states that at a given constant temperature and pressure, the rate of effusion of gases is inversely proportional to the square root of their molar masses

\boxed{ \frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2} =  \sqrt{ \frac{M_2}{M_1} } }

<u>Calculations</u>

Nitrogen exist as N₂ at room temperature, thus its molar mass is 2(14)= 28.

Let the rate and molar mass of unknown gas be Rate₂ and M₂ respectively.

Since N₂ effuses 1.7 times as fast as the unknown gas,

Rate₁= 1.7(Rate₂)

\frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2} = 1.7

1. 7 =  \sqrt{ \frac{M_2}{28} }

Square both sides:

2.89  = \frac{M_2}{28}

Multiply both sides by 28:

2.89(28)= M₂

M₂= 80.92

<u>Identity of </u><u>gas</u>

The molar mass of 80.92 lies between Bromine and Krypton. However since Bromine exist as Br₂, the value of it's molar mass would be 159.8 instead. Hence, Bromine is eliminated.

If the gas is a diatomic element, the atomic weight is 80.92 ÷2= 40.46. Thus, we are now considering if Argon could be its identity. However, Argon is a noble gas and will not exist as a diatomic element. Argon is therefore eliminated too.

Thus based on the above reasoning, its probable identity is Krypton.

The noble gases are inert due to the fact that A. their valence shell is empty B. their valence shell is full C. their electrons
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B) Their valence shell is full

Explanation:

In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.

A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.

A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be (C_6H_{12}O)_n

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.

What is the empirical formula for the following molecular formula: C10H5O2
Tju [1.3M]

The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

The empirical formula (EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

The molecular formula (MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

(empirical formula) n = molecular formula  

<em>(EF)n=MF </em>

(EF)n = C₁₀H₅O₂

If we divide by the number of moles of Oxygen (the smallest) which is 2 then the moles of Hydrogen will be a decimal number (not whole), which is 2.5, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula
