To identify a diatomic gas (X2), a researcher carried out the following experiment: She weighed an empty 3.6-L bulb, then filled it with the gas at 2.00 atm and 24.0 ∘C and weighed it again. The difference in mass was 8.3 g . Identify the gas.

The gas was N₂

Explanation:

V = 3.6L

P = 2.0 atm

T = 24.0°C = 297K

R = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

m = 8.3g

M = molar mass = ?

Using ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

n = no. Of moles = mass / molar mass

n = m/M

PV = m/M * RT

M = mRT / PV

M = (8.3*0.0821*297) / (2.0*3.6)

M = 28.10

Since X is a diatomic molecule

M = 28.10 / 2 = 14.05 g/mol

M = Nitrogen

X = N₂

fe 55.85 g/mol and h2o 18.02 g/mol.

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
