Problems in this set involve e ffusion and/or partial pressure.
Several of the problems are repeats.
(Mm(SF 6) = 146.06 g/mol; Mm(UF6) = 352.02 g/mol; Mm(CH4) = 16.04
g/mol; and Mm(C2H6)=
30.07 g/mol.)
A sample contains an unknown ratio of methane, CH4,t o ethane,C2H6. This sample is placed into a first effusion apparatus and the effused gas is collected. This effused gas is placed into a second apparatus and allowed to effuse a second time. The mole percent of effused ethane proves to be 31.7%. What was the initial mole percent ethane? (num. ans. 46.4%)
