Answer:

Hydrogen is a light molecule

Explanation:

The molecular weight of a gas determines its molecular speed. Hydrogen is a very light gas, far lighter than oxygen or nitrogen. These heavier gases cannot escape the earth because of their molecular weight but hydrogen does escape the earth surface because it is very light molecule having very high molecular speed.

Hydrogen escape from Earth because he is ligher than molecules of nitrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen <span>move faster and can escape Earth's gravitational force.
One mole of molecule of hydrogen (H</span>₂)<span> has molecular mass 2 g/mol, molecule of nitrogen (N</span>₂) <span>has molecular mass 28 g/mol and oxygen (O</span>₂) has 32 g/mol.

What is the overall cell potential for this redox reaction?
Zina [86]
Oxid  # :     0          0                   +2        -1

equation:Cl_{2}  +  Ni -----\ \textgreater \   Ni^{2+}  +  2Cl ^{-}

∴ the nickel was oxidized while chlorine was reduced

nickel reduction potential =  - 0.25 V
              but since it is being oxidised the you have to switch the integer sign so the 
              the potential of nickel in this case becomes + 0.25 V

chlorine was reduced thus its reduction potential remains same  = + 1.36 V

Overall Cell potential  =  ∑ of half cell potential

The overall cell potential  =  (+ 1.36) + (+ 0.25)
                                         =   + 1.61 V

∴ the answer would be D
