16. The diffusion rate of an unknown gas is measured to be 31.50 mL/min. Under
identical conditions, the diffusion rate of oxygen gas is measured to be 30.50
mL/min. Hint: diffusion rate is directly related to velocity.
Determine the identity of the unknown gas from the following options:
a. CH4
b. CO
C. NO
d. CO2
e. NO2

Answer:

Explanation:

[tex]\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1} }[/tex]

r₁ and r₂ are rate of diffusion of gas having molecular mass of M₁ and M₂

[tex]\frac{31.5}{30.5} = \sqrt{\frac{32}{M_1} }[/tex]

1.0666 = 32 / M₁

M₁ = 30

molecular weight of NO = 14 + 16 = 30

So the unknown gas is NO .
