NAMES:
1) Argon (molar mass = 39.94 g mol-1) and an unknown organic
vapor are placed in a chamber at 0.5 atm each. This chamber is separated
from another chamber that has a detector in it for Ar only and a total pressure
guage by a thin diaphram. At a given time, a small hole is created
in the diaphram and the gases leak (effuse) into the detection chamber.
Since the total pressure and the partial pressure of Ar are measured, then
the pressure increase in the unknown is also known. It was found by
this technique that the Ar pressure build-up was 2.5 times faster than the
unknown. What is the molar mass of the unknown?
g mol-1
2) How much faster does 235UF6 diffuse compared to
238UF6? Give the answer to at least 4
significant figures.
(The molar mass is known to at least 6 sif figs.)
By a factor of:
.
( that is the ratio of v(235)/v(239)
)
