A gas of unknown identity diffuses at a rate of 83.3 mL/s in a diffusion apparatus in which carbon dioxide diffuses at the rate of 102 mL/s. Calculate the molecular mass of the unknown gas.
Added by Sarah A.
Step 1
Step 1: Use the formula for Graham's law of diffusion, which states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Show more…
