Answer:

B

Explanation:

Recall the law of effusion:

\displaystyle \frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{ \frac{\mathcal{M}_2}{\mathcal{M}_1} }

Because 5 mol of oxygen was effused in 10 seconds, the rate is 0.5 mol/s.

Let the rate of oxygen be <em>r</em>₁ and the rate of hydrogen be <em>r</em>₂.

The molecular weight of oxygen gas is 32.00 g/mol and the molecular weight of hydrogen gas is 2.02 g/mol.

Substitute and solve for <em>r</em>₂:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{(0.5\text{ mol/s})}{r_2} & = \sqrt{\frac{(2.02\text{ g/mol})}{(32.00\text{ g/mol})}} \\ \\  r_2 & = \frac{0.5\text{ mol/s}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(2.02\text{ g/mol})}{(32.00\text{ g/mol})}}} \\ \\ & = 2.0\text{ mol/s}\end{aligned}

Because there are 5 moles of hydrogen gas:

\displaystyle 5.0\text{ mol} \cdot \frac{1\text{ s}}{2.0\text{ mol}} = 2.5\text{ s}

In conclusion, it will take about 2.5 seconds for the hydrogen gas to effuse.

Check: Because hydrogen gas is lighter than oxygen gas, we expect that hydrogen gas will effuse quicker than oxygen gas.

What does the simplified model of the hall effect give for the density of free electrons in the unknown metal?
evablogger [386]
The simplified model of the hall effect proved that the current (electric) in metals are carried by electrons and not protons. The hall effect introduced the hall coefficient which is the ratio of the induced electric field to the current density x applied magnetic field. This coefficient is unique for each type of metal.
