The rate of effusion of unknown gas X is found
to be about 2.4 times that of SF6 gas (MW
= 146 g/mol) at the same conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the molecular
weight of gas X?
Answer in units of g/mol.

this is called the root mean square
rate gas1 / rate gas 2 = sqrt(molar mass gas2 / molar mass gas 2)
X/SF6 = 2.4
2.4 = sqrt(146 / X)
2.4^2 = 146/X
146 / 5.76 = X = 25.35g/mole
rate gas1 / rate gas 2 = sqrt(molar mass gas2 / molar mass gas 2)
X/SF6 = 2.4
2.4 = sqrt(146 / X)
2.4^2 = 146/X
146 / 5.76 = X = 25.35g/mole

2.4 x 146 = 301.56
301.56 divide by 6 molecular = 50.34
then you times that by 69 because of pressure, divide by 72 of atmospherem and you ge 67.42
