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 empirical formula of glucose is CH2O the molecular formula of glucose is 6 times than the empirical formula. what is the mol
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The molecular formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of smallest whole number of atoms.

Molecular formula:

It gives the total number of atoms in a molecule of compound.

The molecular formula and empirical formula can be related as follow:

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Given data:

Empirical formula = CH₂O

Molecular formula = ?

It is stated in given problem that molecular formula is the 6 times of the empirical formula.

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Molecular formula = 6 × CH₂O

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

The molecular formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆.

When a mercury-202 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, a proton is ejected. What element is formed?
Galina-37 [17]

That will make a gold-202 nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.

Step One: Bombard the \displaystyle ^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} with a neutron ^{1}_{0}n. The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of ^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}. However, the atomic number will stay the same.

  • New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
  • Atomic number is still 80.

^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} + ^{1}_{0}n \to ^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}.

Double check the equation:

  • Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
  • Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

Step Two: The ^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} nucleus loses a proton ^{1}_{1}p. Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.

  • New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
  • New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.

Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.

^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} \to ^{202}_{\phantom{2}79}\text{Au} + ^{1}_{1}p.

Double check the equation:

  • Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
  • Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

A gold-202 nucleus is formed.

How much energy is needed to completely boil a 5.05g sample of water?
Keith_Richards [23]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the amount of heat energy that would be required in order to boil 5.05g of water is that of 11.4kJ of heat.

<h3>Why does it take this much energy to boil the water?</h3>

We arrive at this number by taking into account the energy needed to boil 1g of water to its vaporization point. This results in the use of 2260 J of heat energy. We then take this number and multiply it by the total grams of water being heated, in this case, 5.05g, which gives us our answer of 11.4 kJ of energy required.

Therefore, we can confirm that the amount of heat energy that would be required in order to boil 5.05g of water is that of 11.4kJ of heat.

What does the number next to ions signify?
dusya [7]
<span>The number next to the simbol of the element ions (as a superscript) means the number of charges of the ion. For example N (+),, where (+) is a superscript means that the charge of the ion is 1+. S(2-), where (2-) is a superscript, means that the charge of the ion is (2-). OH (-), where (-) is a superscript, means that the charge of OH ion is (1-) . </span>
