In a given diffusion apparatus, 15.0ml of hbr gas diffused in 1.0 min. in the same apparatus and under the same conditions, 20.3 ml of an unknown gas diffused in 1.0 min. the unknown gas is a hydrocarbon. find it's molecular formula.

C3H3

Explanation:

We first obtain the rate of diffusion of the gases in mLs-1 which is the same as cm3s-1 since 1mL=1cm3. Then we proceed to find the relative molecular mass of the unknown gas by Graham's law of diffusion. After that we proceed to obtain its molecular formula from its molecular mass having previously been told that it is a hydrocarbon (CH). All these processes are shown in the image attached.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
