Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we can use the mathematical relation:

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

Where, ν is the speed of light in a gas <em>(ν = 449 m/s)</em>,

R is the universal gas constant <em>(R = 8.314 J/mol.K)</em>,

T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin <em>(T = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K)</em>,

M is the molar mass of the gas in <em>(Kg/mol)</em>.

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

(449 m/s) = √ (3(8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / M,

<em>by squaring the two sides:</em>

(449 m/s)² = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K)) / M,

∴ M = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / (449 m/s)² = 7308.006 / 201601 = 0.03625 Kg/mol.

<em>∴ The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.</em>

Why do the deprotonated organic acid (RCO2-) and protonated organic base (RNH3+) go into the aqueous layer?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The deprotonated organic acid (RCO2-) and protonated organic base (RNH3+) go into the aqueous layer because Organic compounds that are neither acids or bases do not react with either NaOH or HCl and, therefore remain more soluble in the organic solvent and are not extracted.

What is the number of moles in 0.025 g (NH4)2Cr2O7?
Free_Kalibri [48]
We are asked to calculate the number of moles in a given mass of a substance. To be able to calculate it, we need the molar mass of the substance. For (NH4)2Cr2O7, the molar mass would be <span>252.07 g/mol. We calculate as follows:

0.025 g </span>(NH4)2Cr2O7 ( 1 mol / 252.07 g ) = 0.0001 mol <span>(NH4)2Cr2O7

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Arrange the following in order of increasing boiling point: RbCl, CH3Cl, CH3OH, CH4. A. CH3OH &lt; CH4 &lt; CH3Cl &lt; RbCl B. R
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

E. CH₄ < CH₃Cl < CH₃OH < RbCl

Explanation:

The molecule with the stronger intermolecular forces will have the higher boiling point.

The order of strength of intermolecular forces (strongest first) is

  • Ion-Ion
  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Dipole-dipole
  • London dispersion

RbCl is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. It is an ionic compound, so it has the highest boiling point.

CH₃Cl has a C-Cl polar covalent bond. It has dipole-dipole forces, so it has the second lowest boiling point.

CH₃OH has an O-H bond. It has hydrogen bonding, so it has the second highest boiling point.

CH₄ has nonpolar covalent C-H bonds. It has only nonpolar bonds, so the only attractive forces are London dispersion forces. It has the lowest boiling point.

Thus, the order of increasing boiling points is

CH₄ < CH₃Cl < CH₃OH < RbCl
