Answer:

A gas made up of homonuclear diatomic molecules escapes through a pinhole .533 times as fast as Ne gas. Write the chemical formula of the gas.

Molar mass of Ne gas is 39.1 g/mol

.533= sqrt(39.1/x)

Sq (0.533) = 20.18/x

0.284 = 20.18/x

x = 71.034 g/mol

Where the chlorine has a molar mass of = 35.5g and molar mass of Cl2 gas = 2 × 35.5 = 71 g/mol

Explanation:

Graham's law: Rate1/Rate2 = sqrt(M2/M1) where M is the molar mass

Thus we have (Rate of x)/(Rate of Ne) = sqrt((Molar mass of Ne)/(Molar mass of x))

From the question (Rate of x)/(Rate of Ne) =0.533

and sqrt((Molar mass of Ne)/(Molar mass of x)) = sqrt(39.1/(Molar mass of x))

.533/1= sqrt(39.1/x)

Sq (0.533) = 20.18/x

0.284 = 20.18/x

x = 71.034 g/mol

Hence a compatible gas is chlorine Cl2 with molar mass of

71 g/mol

Answer:

The gas made of homonuclear diatomic molecules escapes through the pinhole size gap as fast as 0.533 times as compared to neon gas is Chlorine with molecular mass of 71 g/mol.

Explanation:

For calculation of molar mass of unknown gas, which moves n times faster than the other gas, the use of Grahm's law is made.

According to Grahm's law:

Rate of gas movement = [tex]\rm \sqrt{\frac{Molar\;mass\;of\;1\;gas}{molar\;mass\;of\;2\;gas} }[/tex]

0.533 = [tex]\rm \sqrt{\frac{20.17\;g/mol}{molar\;mass\;of\;2\;gas} }[/tex]

Molar mass of unknown gas is 71.034 g/mol

Since, the molar mass of Cl is 35.5, the molar mass of Cl gas is 71.

So the unknown gas will be Chlorine with molecular formula [tex]\rm Cl_2[/tex], and molecular weight of 71 g/mol.
