$$\text{Rate} = \frac{0.75\ \mathrm{mol}}{12.9\ \mathrm{hr}} = 0.058\ \mathrm{mol/hr}$$

Q: An unknown gas effuses through a pinhole 1.24 times as fast as Xe. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas?

$$M_{\text{unknown}} = \frac{M_{Xe}}{(1.24)^2$} = 108\ \mathrm{g/mol}$$

Q: An unknown gas effuses through a pinhole 0.411 times as fast as Ne. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas?

$$M_{\text{unknown}} = M_{Ne} \div (0.411)^2$ = 122\ \mathrm{g/mol}$$

Question 6

An inflated balloon has a volume of 5.45 L at sea level (1.00 atm) and is allowed to ascend until the pressure is 0.21 atm. The temperature falls from 32°C to 15°C. What is the final volume of the balloon? (Use the ideal gas law.)

Accepted Answer

$$V_2$$ = \frac{$$P_1$$ $$V_1$$ $$T_2$$}{$$P_2$$ $$T_1$$}$$, so V_2$ \approx 27.2\ \mathrm{L}$$

Accepted Answer

$$P = \frac{nRT}{V}$$, $$n = 29$$ mol, $$P \approx 136$$ atm
