The ratio of effusion rates for the lightest gas H₂ to the heaviest known gas UF₆ is 13.21 to 1

<h3>What is effusion?</h3>

Effusion is a process by which a gas escapes from its container through a tiny hole into evacuated space.

Rate of effusion ∝ 1/√Ц, (where Ц is molar mass)

Rate H₂ = 1/√ЦH₂

Rate UF₆ = 1/√ЦUF₆

Therefore, Rate H₂/ Rate UF₆ = √ЦH₂/√ЦUF₆

ЦH₂= 2.016 g/mol

ЦUF₆= 352.04 g/mol

Rate H₂ / Rate UF₆ = √352.04/√2.016 = 18.76/1.42

Rate H₂ / Rate UF₆ = 13.21

Therefore, H₂ is lower mass than UF₆. Thus H₂ gas will effuse 13 times more faster than UF₆ because the most probable speed of H₂ molecule is higher; therefore, more molecules escapes per unit time.

In fractional distillation, liquid can be seen running from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distilling flask
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

substances with a higher boiling point are returning back to the flask which allows another substances with the specific context temperature (lower boiling point) to boil over and be purified.

Explanation:

The reason it happens because the lower boiling point substance vaporizes and crosses over while the other substance is waiting for its boiling point to reach

Which elements are present in the compound aluminium nitrate?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Aluminum nitrate is a salt composed of aluminum and nitric acid, belonging to a group of reactive chemicals - organic nitrate and nitrite compounds. The nitrate ion is polyatomic, meaning it is composed of two or more ions that are covalently bonded. This ion makes up the conjugate base of nitric acid.

____ [38]

Answer:

  • <em>Oxidation half-reaction</em>:

Fe²⁺(aq) →  Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻

  • <em>Reduction half-reaction</em>:

Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ →  Ce³⁺(aq)

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • Fe²⁺(aq) + Ce⁴⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + Ce³⁺(aq)

The <em>oxidation half-reaction</em> is:

  • Fe²⁺(aq) →  Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻

It is an oxidation because the oxidation state of Fe increases from 2+ to 3+.

The <em>reduction half-reaction</em> is:

  • Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ →  Ce³⁺(aq)

It is a reduction because the oxidation state of Ce decreases from 4+ to 3+.

Answer:

Here you go! 50% of your writing piece

Explanation:

Foods produced from or using GM organisms are often referred to as GM foods.

GM foods are developed and marketed because there is some advantage either to the producer or consumer of these GM foods. GM seed developers wanted their products to be accepted by producers and have concentrated on innovations that bring direct benefit to farmers and generally the food industry.

One objective for developing plants based on GM organisms is to improve crop protection. The GM crops currently on the market are mainly aimed at an increased level of crop protection through the introduction of resistance against plant diseases caused by insects or viruses or through increased tolerance towards herbicides.

Resistance against insects is achieved by incorporating into the food plant the gene for toxin production from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. GM crops that inherently produce this toxin have been shown to require lower quantities of insecticides in specific situations, where pest pressure is high.
