The molar mass of unknown gas was measured by effusion experiment. it was found that it took 63s for the gas to effuse, whereas nitrogen gas required 48s. what is the molar mass of the gas?a) 32g/molb) 37g/molc) 24g/mold) 16g/mole) 48g/mol

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Graham's law, time taken for effusion is directly proportional to square root of molar mass.

         [tex]\frac{T_{N_{2}}}{T_{Gas}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{N_{2}}}{M_{Gas}}}[/tex]

where,   [tex]T_{N_{2}}[/tex] = Time taken by the nitrogen gas

             [tex]T_{Gas}[/tex] = Time taken by the other gas

           [tex]M_{N_{2}}[/tex] = molar mass of nitrogen

           [tex]M_{Gas}[/tex] = molar mass of other gas

Therefore, we will calculate the molar mass  of unknown as follows.

     [tex]\frac{T_{N_{2}}}{T_{Gas}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{N_{2}}}{M_{Gas}}}[/tex]

     [tex]\frac{48 sec}{63 sec} = \sqrt{\frac{28 g/mol}{M_{Gas}}}[/tex]

Squaring on both the sides,      

 [tex]M_{Gas} = (\frac{63}{48})^{2} \times 28[/tex]        

               = [tex]\frac{3969}{2304} \times 28[/tex]

               = 48.2 g/mol

Thus, we can conclude that molar mass of the given gas is 48 g/mol.

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 48 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Time to effuse : 63s

Time to effuse for nitrogen = 48s

Molar mass N2 = 28 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the molar mass

√M1 / t1 = √M2 / t2

⇒ with M1 = the molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

⇒ with t1 = the time to effuse for nitrogen = 48s

⇒ with M2 = the molar mass of the gas = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with t2 = the time to effuse the gas = 63 s

√28 / 48 = √M2 /63

0.110 = √M2 /63

M2  = 48 g/mol

The molar mass of the gas is 48 g/mol
