Answer: radon (atomic mass 222 amu

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

atomic mass of krypton= 83.8 amu

atomic mass of argon= 39.95 amu

atomic mass of xenon = 131.3 amu

atomic mass of radon= 222 amu

Thus as atomic mass of radon is highest, its rate of diffusion is slowest.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

When copper(II) chloride and sodium carbonate solutions are combined, solid copper(II) carbonate precipitates, leaving a solution of sodium chloride. Write the conventional equation, total ionic equation, and net ionic equation for this reaction.

Explanation:

The word equation for the reaction is:

Copper (II) chloride(aq) + sodium carbonate (aq) ->sodium chloride (aq) + copper carbonate(s)

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

$CuCl_2(aq)+Na_2CO_3(aq)->2NaCl(aq)+CuCO_3(s)$

The complete ionic equation is:

$Cu^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-(aq)->2Cl^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+CuCO_3(s)\\$

The net ionic equation is obtained from the complete ionic equation after removing the spectator ions:

$Cu^2^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-(aq)->CuCO_3(s)$

Consider the reaction below. HI + H2O mc014-1.jpg H3O+ + I– Which is an acid-conjugate base pair? HI and H2O H2O and H3O+ H3O+ a

lesya692 [45]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, species which donate a proton are known as acid. The species which accept a proton are known as a base.

In the given reaction, acids and bases are as follows.

HI + $H_{2}O$ $\rightarrow$ $H_{3}O^{+}$ + $I^{-}$

Acid Base Conjugate acid Conjugate base

Therefore, the acid HI loses a proton to form a conjugate base that is $I^{-}$ .

Thus, we can conclude that HI and $I^{-}$ is an acid conjugate base pair.

What must happen for heat to be transferred by convection?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer: The heat transfer by convection requires a solid-fluid interface, a temperature difference between the solid surface and the surrounding fluid and a motion of the fluid. The process of heat transfer by convection would occur when there is a movement of macro-particles of the fluid in space from a region of higher temperature to lower temperature.
