A theory is a well-tested explanation that uses a broad range of observations. A hypotheses is an explanation for something, but the information is taken from observation, but has not been proved. Most hypotheses can be proven or disproven by further research.

An unknown gas diffuses 0.25 times as fast as helium. What is it’s molar mass? What steps are to be done?

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

64.0 g/mol.

Explanation:

Thomas Graham found that, at a constant temperature and pressure the rates of effusion of various gases are inversely proportional to the square root of their masses.

∨ ∝ 1/√M.

where, ∨ is the rate of diffusion of the gas.

M is the molar mass of the gas.

∨₁/∨₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

∨₁ is the rate of effusion of the unknown gas.

∨₂ is the rate of effusion of He gas.

M₁ is the molar mass of the unknown gas.

M₂ is the molar mass of He gas (M₂ = 4.0 g/mol).

∨₁/∨₂ = 0.25.

∵ ∨₁/∨₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

∴ (0.25) =√(4.0 g/mol)/(M₁)

By squaring the both sides:

∴ (0.25)² = (4.0 g/mol)/(M₁)

∴ M₁ = (4.0 g/mol)/(0.25)² = 64.0 g/mol.

What is the quantity of heat (in kJ) associated with cooling 185.5 g of water from 25.60°C to ice at -10.70°C?Heat Capacity of S

Cerrena [4.2K]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, sensible heat and latent heat, the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

<h3>Sensible heat</h3>

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

<h3>Latent heat</h3>

Latent heat is defined as the energy required by a quantity of substance to change state.

When this change consists of changing from a solid to a liquid phase, it is called heat of fusion and when the change occurs from a liquid to a gaseous state, it is called heat of vaporization.

25.60 °C to 0 °C

First of all, you should know that the freezing point of water is 0°C. That is, at 0°C, water freezes and turns into ice.

So, you must lower the temperature from 25.60°C (in liquid state) to 0°C, in order to supply heat without changing state (sensible heat).

The amount of heat a body receives or transmits is determined by:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

c= Heat Capacity of Liquid= 4.184 $\frac{J}{gC}$
m= 185.5 g
ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 0 °C - 25.60 °C= - 25.6 °C

Replacing:

Q1= 4.184 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × 185.5 g× (- 25.6 °C)

Solving:

Q1= -19,868.98 J

Change of state

The heat Q that is necessary to provide for a mass m of a certain substance to change phase is equal to

Q = m×L

where L is called the latent heat of the substance and depends on the type of phase change.

In this case, you know:

n= 185.5 grams× $\frac{1mol}{18 grams}$ = 10.30 moles, where 18 $\frac{g}{mol}$ is the molar mass of water, that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

ΔHfus= 6.01 $\frac{kJ}{mol}$

Replacing:

Q2= 10.30 moles×6.01 $\frac{kJ}{mol}$

Solving:

Q2=61.903 kJ= 61,903 J

0 °C to -10.70 °C

Similar to sensible heat previously calculated, you know:

c = Heat Capacity of Solid = 2.092 $\frac{J}{gC}$
m= 185.5 g
ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= -10.70 °C - 0 °C= -10.70 °C

Replacing:

Q3= 2.092 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × 185.5 g× (-10.70) °C

Solving:

Q3= -4,152.3062 J

<h3>Total heat required</h3>

The total heat required is calculated as:

Total heat required= Q1 + Q2 +Q3

Total heat required=-19,868.98 J + 61,903 J -4,152.3062 J

Total heat required= 37,881.7138 J= 37.8817138 kJ= 37.88 kJ

In summary, the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.

Why is the sky orange and red at sunset

Furkat [3]

At sunset the light from the sun grazes across the surface of the earth, passing through a long column or pathlength of atmosphere. During its passage through the atmosphere the blue components of the light are reduced in intensity, making the transmitted beam of sunlight more yellow or even red in color.

hope this helps ^^
