Question #67904

A chemist (using diffusion apparatus) was working on a gas of unknown identity.using diffusion apparatus.He noted that the rate of diffusion of the unknown gas was 70.3cm3/s where asCO2 is 60 cm3/s under similar conditions.What is the molecular mass and identity of unknown gas?

Expert's answer

rate 1 / Rate 2 = square root ( M2 / M1 )

M (CO 2 ) = 44 g/mol

70.3/60 = square root (44 / x)

M1 = 32 g/mol

Therefore, gas 1 is O 2 .
