A sample of helium diffuses 4.57 times faster than an unknown gas. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas?

A. 38.8 g/mol
B. 83.5 g/mol
C. 18.2 g/mol
D. 12 g/mol

Answer :

To find the molar mass of the unknown gas, divide 4.00 g/mol by 4.57, which gives us a molar mass of 0.877 g/mol. the molar mass of the unknown gas is 18.2 g/mol.

The molar mass of the unknown gas can be calculated by dividing the molar mass of helium (4.00 g/mol) by the ratio of the diffusion rate. Helium diffuses 4.57 times faster than the unknown gas, so the molar mass of the unknown gas must be less than 4.00 g/mol. This corresponds to a molar mass of approximately 18.2 g/mol, which is the answer choice.
