A) The average molecular speed in a sample of Ar gas at a certain temperature is 391 m/s. The average molecular speed in a sample of Ne gas is ______ m/s at the same temperature.
B) The rate of effusion of Xe gas through a porous barrier is observed to be 7.03×10-4 mol / h. Under the same conditions, the rate of effusion of SO2 gas would be ______ mol / h

Sagot :

Answer:

For A: The average molecular speed of Ne gas is 553 m/s at the same temperature.

For B: The rate of effusion of [tex]SO_2[/tex] gas is [tex]1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr[/tex]

Explanation:

For A:

The average molecular speed of the gas is calculated by using the formula:

[tex]V_{gas}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}}[/tex]

     OR

[tex]V_{gas}\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}[/tex]

where, M is the molar mass of gas

Forming an equation for the two gases:

[tex]\frac{V_{Ar}}{V_{Ne}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{Ne}}{M_{Ar}}}[/tex]          .....(1)

Given values:

[tex]V_{Ar}=391m/s\\M_{Ar}=40g/mol\\M_{Ne}=20g/mol[/tex]

Plugging values in equation 1:

[tex]\frac{391m/s}{V_{Ne}}=\sqrt{\frac{20}{40}}\\\\V_{Ne}=391\times \sqrt{2}=553m/s[/tex]

Hence, the average molecular speed of Ne gas is 553 m/s at the same temperature.

For B:

Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation for this follows:

[tex]Rate\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}[/tex]

Where, M is the molar mass of the gas

Forming an equation for the two gases:

[tex]\frac{Rate_{SO_2}}{Rate_{Xe}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{Xe}}{M_{SO_2}}}[/tex]          .....(2)

Given values:

[tex]Rate_{Xe}=7.03\times 10^{-4}mol/hr\\M_{Xe}=131g/mol\\M_{SO_2}=64g/mol[/tex]

Plugging values in equation 2:

[tex]\frac{Rate_{SO_2}}{7.03\times 10^{-4}}=\sqrt{\frac{131}{64}}\\\\Rate_{SO_2}=7.03\times 10^{-4}\times \sqrt{\frac{131}{64}}\\\\Rate_{SO_2}=1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr[/tex]

Hence, the rate of effusion of [tex]SO_2[/tex] gas is [tex]1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr[/tex]
