A sample of neon effuses from a container in 38 s. The same amount of an unknown noble gas requires 77.5 s. What is the unknown gas?

Answer :

Answer:

Krypton.

Explanation:

By Graham's Law:

Rate 1 / Rate 2 = sqrt M2 / sqrt M1

Molecular Mass for Neon  is 20.18

so we have:

38 / 77.5  =  sqrt 20.18 / sqrt x    where x is the unkown gas.

sqrt x = 9.162

x = 83.94.

This gas is Krypton.
