Enter your answer in the provided box. A sample of an unknown gas effuses in 11.1 min. An equal volume of H2 in the same apparatus under the same conditions effuses in 2.42 min. What is the molar mass of the unknown gas

The molar mass of the unknown gas  is 9 g/mol

Explanation:

From Graham's law of effusion rates, the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.

Rate is volume effused per unit time. Since, the volumes are same, the formula could be written as:

Putting the values in the formula:

Squaring both sides:

The molar mass of the unknown gas  is 9 g/mol

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
