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.

The standard cell potential for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always:_____
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>b. Negative</em>

Explanation:

An electrolytic cell is based on a reduction- oxidation reaction which is non spontaneous. That means that the standard cell potencial (Eº) is negative. For this reason, an electrical potential must be applied in order to force the reaction. Conversely, a galvanic cell is based on a spontaneous redox reaction, so the galvanic cell produces electrical energy.
