Briefly describe two methods one might use to find the molar mass of a newly synthesized gas for which a molecular formula was not known.
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The molar mass of the gas for the unknown molecular formula has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
One method to determine the molar mass is from its measured density.
Other method to determine the molar mass is using Graham’s law of effusion.
Graham’s law of effusion states that the relative rates of effusion of two gases at the same temperature and pressure are given by the inverse ratio of the square roots of the masses of the gas particles.
Graham’s law of effusion can be given as,
Where
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The ideal gas law can be used to calculate the molar mass from its calculated/given density.
The relationship between the gas density and molar mass can be given as,
Considering the number of moles of gas n can be expressed as,
