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.

The amount ofcalcium present in milk can be determined by adding oxalate to asample and measuring the massof calcium oxalate pre

Sauron [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of calcium oxalate = 0.429 g

Molar mass of calcium oxalate = 128.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium oxalate}=\frac{0.429g}{128.1g/mol}=0.0033mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Na_2C_2O_4(aq.)+Ca^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow CaC_2O_4(s)+2Na^+(aq.)$

Sodium oxalate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent. And, calcium ion is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium oxalate is produced from 1 mole of calcium ion

So, 0.0033 moles of calcium oxalate is produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0033=0.0033mol$ of calcium ions

Now, calculating the mass of calcium ions by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of calcium ions = 0.0033 moles

Molar mass of calcium ions = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0033mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{40g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium ions}=(0.0033mol\times 40g/mol)=0.132g$

To calculate the mass percentage of calcium ions in milk, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{\text{Mass of milk}}\times 100$

Mass of milk = 125 g

Mass of calcium ions = 0.132 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{0.132g}{125g}\times 100=0.107\%$

Hence, the mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

Why is true about electron dot diagrams

vazorg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

We will analyze each of the options:

A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.

B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.

C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.

D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.

We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.

Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
