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.

What is the correct iupac name of CH3-CH2-CH2CHO ?

kow [346]

the correct IUPAC name of the compound is 1-Butanal.

<h3>What are IUPAC names?</h3>

It is a system of naming organic compounds based on the longest carbon-to-carbon single bonds. It does not matter whether these longest chains are continuous or in a ring.

Thus, when the compound with the chemical formula, CH3-CH2-CH2CHO is considered. The longest carbon-to-carbon chain is 4. The 1st carbon carries a functional group known as an aldehyde.

Aldehydes are equipped with the carbonyl group and have the general formula R−CH=O. They are also sometimes referred to as formyl.

Aldehydes are named after their parent alkane chains with a slight modification. The 'e' is replaced with 'al'

The aldehyde in this case has four carbons. This means that the parent alkane is Butane. Therefore, the name of the compound will be 1-Butanal.

The vapor pressure of water is 1.00 atm at 373 K, and the enthalpy of vaporization is 40.68 kJ mol!. Estimate the vapor pressure

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The vapor pressure at temperature 363 K is 0.6970 atm

The vapor pressure at 383 K is 1.410 atm

Explanation:

To calculate $\Delta H_{vap}$ of the reaction, we use clausius claypron equation, which is:

$\ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]$

where,

$P_1$ = vapor pressure at temperature $T_1$

$P_2$ = vapor pressure at temperature $T_2$

$\Delta H_{vap}$ = Enthalpy of vaporization

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

1) $\Delta H_{vap}=40.68 kJ/mol=40680 J/mol$

$T_1$ = initial temperature =363 K

$T_2$ = final temperature =373 K

$P_2=1 atm, P_1=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\ln(\frac{1 atm}{P_1})=\frac{40680 J/mol}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{363}-\frac{1}{373}]$

$P_1=0.69671 atm \approx 0.6970 atm$

The vapor pressure at temperature 363 K is 0.6970 atm

2) $\Delta H_{vap}=40.68 kJ/mol=40680 J/mol$

$T_1$ = initial temperature =373 K

$T_2$ = final temperature =383 K

$P_1=1 atm, P_2?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\ln(\frac{P_2}{1 atm})=\frac{40680 J/mol}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{373}-\frac{1}{383}]$

$P_2=1.4084 atm \approx 1.410 atm$

The vapor pressure at 383 K is 1.410 atm

What are chemical reaction

scoray [572]

The reaction in which we can't take back the product to reactant form .Or in simple words the reaction which is irreversible is called chemical reaction

Example:-

We cannot pull back the reaction to get wax back .
