Question: Calculate the relative rate of diffusion of \(^{\rm{1}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\) (molar mass \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.0 g/mol}}\)) compared to that of \(^{\rm{2}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\) (molar mass \({\rm{4}}{\rm{.0 g/mol}}\)) and the relative rate of diffusion of \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\) (molar mass \({\rm{32 g/mol}}\)) compared to that of \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}\) (molar mass \({\rm{48 g/mol}}\)).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The relative rates of diffusion of \(^{\rm{1}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\) and \(^2{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\), \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\) and \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}\) are \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.414}}\) and \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.22}}\) respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction

The Graham's law states that a gas's rate of diffusion or effusion is inversely related to the square root of its molecular weight.

02

Relative Rates of Diffusion

Graham's finding relates the rate and the molar mass of a gas. If two gases \(A\) and \(B\) are at the same temperature and pressure, then the relative rates of diffusion for \(^{\rm{1}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\) and \(^2{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\) will be:

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{{\rm{ rate of diffusion of}}{{\rm{ }}^{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{{{\rm{ rate of diffusion of}}{{\rm{ }}^2}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\sqrt {{{\rm{M}}_{^2{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}}}} }}{{\sqrt {{{\rm{M}}_{^1{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}}}} }},\;Where\;\;M\;is{\rm{ }}the{\rm{ }}molar{\rm{ }}mass.\\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {\frac{{\rm{4}}}{{\rm{2}}}} \\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{1}}{\rm{.1117}}} \\{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.414}}{\rm{.}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the result obtained is \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.414}}\).

03

Relative Rates of Diffusion

Graham's finding relates the rate and the molar mass of a gas. If two gases \(A\) and \(B\) are at the same temperature and pressure, then the relative rates of diffusion for \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\) and \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}\) will be:

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{{\rm{ rate of diffusion of }}{{\rm{O}}_3}}}{{{\rm{ rate of diffusion of }}{{\rm{O}}_2}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\sqrt {{{\rm{M}}_{{{\rm{O}}_3}}}} }}{{\sqrt {{{\rm{M}}_{{{\rm{O}}_2}}}} }},\;Where\;\;M\;is{\rm{ }}the{\rm{ }}molar{\rm{ }}mass.\\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rm{48}}}}{{{\rm{32}}}}} \\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{1}}{\rm{.1117}}} \\{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.22}}{\rm{.}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the result obtained is \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.22}}\).

Calculate the volume of oxygen required to burn \[12.00\;{\rm{L}}\] of ethane gas, \[{{\rm{C}}_2}{{\rm{H}}_6}\], to produce carbon dioxide and water, if the volumes of \[{{\rm{C}}_2}{{\rm{H}}_6}\]and \[{{\rm{O}}_2}\]are measured under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.

A large scuba tank (see Figure \({\rm{9}}{\rm{.16}}\)) with a volume of \({\rm{18\;L}}\) is rated for a pressure of \({\rm{220 bar}}\). The tank is filled at \({\rm{2}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\) and contains enough air to supply \({\rm{1860\;L}}\) of air to a diver at a pressure of \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.37\;atm}}\) (a depth of \({\rm{45}}\)feet). Was the tank filled to capacity at \({\rm{2}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\)?
