Carbon dioxide, CO2, was shown to effuse through a porous plate at the rate of 0.030 mol/min. the same quantity of an unknown gas, 0.030 moles, is found to effuse through the same porous barrier in 95 seconds. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas.

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown gas is 69.67 g/mol.

Explanation:

CO₂: 44 g/mol

1 mol CO₂ ___________ 44 g

0.03 mol CO₂₂ ________  x

        x = 1.32 g CO₂

1.32 g of gas effuse through the plate every minute.

1.32 g gas ____ 60s

     y          ____ 95 s

     y = 2.09 g gas

2.09 g gas ___ 0.030 mol

        z        ___  1 mol

            z = 69.67 g

The molar mass of the unknown gas is 69.67 g/mol.
