Chapter 5: Problem 104

The rate of effusion of a particular gas was measured and found to be \(24.0 \mathrm{~mL} / \mathrm{min}\). Under the same conditions, the rate of effusion of pure methane \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\right)\) gas is \(47.8 \mathrm{~mL} / \mathrm{min}\). What is the molar mass of the unknown gas?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The molar mass of the unknown gas is approximately \(44.493 \frac{g}{mol}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write the formula for Graham's Law of Effusion

Graham's Law of Effusion is given by the formula: \[ \frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}} \] Where \(Rate_1\) and \(Rate_2\) are the rates of effusion of two gases, and \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) are their respective molar masses.
02

Input the given values into the formula

In this problem, we're given the rate of effusion of the unknown gas (\(Rate_1\)), the rate of effusion of methane (\(Rate_2\)), and the molar mass of methane (\(M_2\)). The molar mass of methane is \(16.04 \frac{g}{mol}\). Let's plug these values into the formula: \[ \frac{24.0 mL/min}{47.8 mL/min} = \sqrt{\frac{16.04 \frac{g}{mol}}{M_1}} \]
03

Solve for M1, the molar mass of the unknown gas

In order to solve for \(M_1\), we have to simplify and rearrange the equation as follows: \[ \frac{24.0}{47.8} = \sqrt{\frac{16.04}{M_1}} \] Now, square both sides of the equation: \[ \left(\frac{24.0}{47.8}\right)^2 = \frac{16.04}{M_1} \] Next, solve for \(M_1\) by multiplying both sides of the equation by \(M_1\) and then dividing both sides by \(\left(\frac{24.0}{47.8}\right)^2\): \[ M_1 = \frac{16.04}{\left(\frac{24.0}{47.8}\right)^2} \] Finally, calculate \(M_1\): \[ M_1 \approx 44.493 \frac{g}{mol}\]
04

State the answer

The molar mass of the unknown gas is approximately \(44.493 \frac{g}{mol}\).

The steel reaction vessel of a bomb calorimeter, which has a volume of \(75.0 \mathrm{~mL}\), is charged with oxygen gas to a pressure of 145 atm at \(22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate the moles of oxygen in the reaction vessel.

Consider three identical flasks filled with different gases. Flask A: \(\mathrm{CO}\) at 760 torr and \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) Flask B: \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) at 250 torr and \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) Flask C: \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) at 100 torr and \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) a. In which flask will the molecules have the greatest average kinetic energy? b. In which flask will the molecules have the greatest average velocity?

Write reactions to show how nitric and sulfuric acids are produced in the atmosphere.

A student adds \(4.00 \mathrm{~g}\) dry ice (solid \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) ) to an empty balloon. What will be the volume of the balloon at STP after all the dry jce sublimes (converts to gaseous \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) )?

You have a helium balloon at \(1.00 \mathrm{~atm}\) and \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). You want to make a hot-air balloon with the same volume and same lift as the helium balloon. Assume air is \(79.0 \%\) nitrogen and \(21.0 \%\) oxygen by volume. The "lift" of a balloon is given by the difference between the mass of air displaced by the balloon and the mass of gas inside the balloon. a. Will the temperature in the hot-air balloon have to be higher or lower than \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ? Explain. b. Calculate the temperature of the air required for the hot-air balloon to provide the same lift as the helium balloon at \(1.00\) atm and \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Assume atmospheric conditions are \(1.00 \mathrm{~atm}\) and \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
