Question

Nitrous oxide is a gas often used as an anesthetic in dental and medical procedures. A tank with equal partial pressures of N2O and O2 has 5.00 moles of N2O escape through a small hole in 1 inute. How many moles of oxygen escape in the same time period?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5.863

Explanation:

rate of N20/rate of o2 = $\sqrt{molecular weight of 02/ molecular weight of N20}$

5moles per minute /rate of o2 = $\sqrt{32/44}$

rate of o2 is 2.5*$\sqrt{2/11}$

Moles of o2 is  5.863 moles
