Question

The molar mass of two equally sized samples of unknown gaseous compounds is shown in the table.

Molar Mass Comparison
Gas Molar Mass
X 28 g/mol
Y 44 g/mol
At STP, which describes the density and effusion of both gases? (4 points)

a
Gas X has a higher density and effuses faster than Gas Y.

b
Gas X has a higher density and effuses slower than Gas Y.

c
Gas X has a lower density and effuses slower than Gas Y.

d
Gas X has a lower density and effuses faster than Gas Y.

Answer 1

Answer:

D.  Gas X has a lower density and effuses faster than Gas Y.

Explanation:

I took the test.

• Lower Density = effuse/ diffuse faster
• Lower Molar Mass = effuse/ diffuse faster

Answer 2

Gas X has a lower density and effuses faster than Gas Y. Hence, option D is correct.

What is density?

Density is the amount or the number of entities that can be contained in an area. It is denoted by ρ and is calculated as,

ρ = Mass ÷ Volume

Diffusion is the process of movement of a substance from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration.

Effusion  is the process of a gas being poured out through a hole diametrically smaller than the structural exit of the container.

The gas with a smaller mass will diffuse slower in rate than the gas with a higher mass.

Hence, Gas X has a lower density and effuses faster than Gas Y.
