Answer:
Molar mass = 27.88 g/mol
Explanation:
The relationship between how gases effuses is given by Graham's law of effusion. This law is given as;
Rg / Rxe = [tex]\sqrt{}[/tex](Mxe / Mg)
Where;
Rg = Rate of effusion of gas g
RXe = Rate of effusion of Xe
Mxe = Molar mass of Xe = 131.29 g/mol
Mg = Molar mass of gas g
From the question;
Rg : Rxe = 2.17 : 1
Rg / Rxe = 2.17 / 1 = 2.17
2.17 = [tex]\sqrt{}[/tex]131.29 / Mg
Squaring both sides
4.7089 = 131.29 / Mg
Mg = 131.29 / 4.7089
Mg = 27.88 g/mol
