According to Graham's Law of Diffusion,"the rates of diffusion of two gases are inversely proportional to the square root of their Molar masses or Densities at the same pressure and temperature".

                                     r₁ / r₂  =  \sqrt{M2 / M1}
Where,
            r₁  =  Rate of Helium

            r₂  =  Rate of Oxygen

            M₂  =  Molar mass of Oxygen  =  32 g/mol

            M₁  =  Molar mass of Fluorine  =  4 g/mol

Putting values,

                                           r₁ / r₂  =  \sqrt{32 / 4}

                                           r₁ / r₂  =  \sqrt{8}

                                           r₁ / r₂  =  2.82
Result:
            Helium gas effuses 2.82 times faster than Oxygen gas.

Which would have the lowest input force?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

A long lever with the fulcrum as close as possible to the load

Explanation:

If F be the effort , W be the weight , L₁  be the distance of load from fulcrum and L₂ be the distance of effort from the fulcrum ,

Taking moment of force about the fulcrum , we have

W x L₁ =  F x L₂

F = W x ( L₁ /  L₂ )

F will be minimum when L₁ will be minimum .

Hence  fulcrum should be as close as possible to the load.

What decides if an atom will be a cation or an anion?
JulijaS [17]

The loss or gain of electrons

Explanation:

The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.

A cation is a positively charge ion

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:

 Protons are the positively charged particles

 Electrons are negatively charged

  Neutrons carry no charges

Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.

When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.

When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.

A 0.175 M solution of an enantiomerically pure chiral compound D has an observed rotation of +0.27° in a 1-dm sample
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The specific rotation of D is 11.60° mL/g dm

Explanation:

Given that:

The path length (l) =  1 dm

Observed rotation (∝) = + 0.27°

Molarity = 0.175 M

Molar mass = 133.0 g/mol

Concentration in (g/mL) = 0.175 mol/L × 133.0 g/mol

Concentration in (g/mL) = 23.275 g/L

Since 1 L = 1000 mL

Concentration in (g/mL) = 0.023275 g/mL

The specific rotation [∝] = ∝/(1×c)

= 0.27°/( 1  dm ×  0.023275 g/mL )

= 11.60° mL/g dm

Thus, the specific rotation of D is 11.60° mL/g dm
