How much faster does ethane (C2H6) gas travel compared to chlorine gas?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zimovet [89]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{54 $\, \%$ faster }}

Explanation:

v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}

if temperature is constant.  

v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{M}

if we are comparing two gases,

\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}

Let chlorine be Gas 1 and ethane be Gas 2

Data:

M₁ =  70.91 g/mol

M₂ = 30.07 g/mol

Calculation

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{\dfrac{70.91}{30.07}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{2.358}\\\\& = & \mathbf{1.54}\\\end{array}\\\text{Ethane molecules travel at 1.54 times the speed of chlorine molecules}\\\text{or $\large \boxed{\textbf{54 $\%$ faster }}$ than chlorine molecules}

If I have one mole of sulfur, how many atoms would that be?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Atoms of sulfur = 9.60⋅g32.06⋅g⋅mol−1×6.022×1023⋅mol−1

Explanation:

because the units all cancel out, the answer is clearly a number, ≅2×1023 as required.

CH4+(x)O2=CO2 +(Y)H2O
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=2+? +H=?
H=4>>Y=2
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=(2+2) +H=4
C=1 +H=4 +O=4 = C=1 +O=4 +H=4
O=4>>X=2
CH4+(2)O2 =CO2 +(2)H2O

If electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 2.0×1015s−1, what is the radiation’s energy?(1 point)
Alika [10]
  • Frequency=v=2×10^15Hz
  • Energy=E

Using planks quantum theory

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=hv

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 2\times 10^{15}s^{-1}

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=13.252\times 10^{-19}J

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=1.3\times 10^{-18}J
