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.

1. A chemical bond between metals and nonmetals; valence electrons are transferred ____.
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1. Ionic bonding

2. Covalent bonding

3. Metallic bonding

Explanation:

Ionic bonding also referred to as electrovalent bonding is a kind of chemical bonding that involves the transfer of electrons between the valence shells of two elements with a large electronegativity difference usually a metal and a nonmetal.

For example an ionic bonding scenario might play out between a group one metal and a group seven halogen. While group one metals have one electron hindering their stability, group seven halogens need that one electron that could make them achieve this stability. It is this that causes them to come together in a way where the electron is transferred completely from the valence shell of the group 1 atom and accepted into the valence shell of the group 7 halogen.

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of comparable electronegativities. The electro negativity difference is not large enough to permit the total movement of the electrons and hence the electrons are then controlled by the nuclei of the two atoms

Between two metals, what we have is called the metallic bonding

How is the periodic table organized?
joja [24]

Answer:

The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.

A _____ exists in the same physical state as that of the reaction it catalyzes.
klio [65]
<span>A Homogeneous Catalyst exists in the same physical state as that of the reaction it catalyzes.

Explanation:
                     
Catalysts are classifies as follow,
                                                      1. Homogeneous Catalyst
                                                      2. Heterogeneous Catalyst

</span>Homogeneous Catalyst are those which are in same phase as that of reactants are.

Example:

         Acetic Acid + Ethanol + H₂SO₄  →  Ethyl Acetate + H₂O + H₂SO₄

In this reaction catalyst and reactants all are in same phase i.e. Liquids.

Heterogeneous Catalyst are those which are in different phase as that of reactants are.

Example:

                                 Ethene + H₂ + Ni  →  Ethane + Ni

In this reaction ethene and hydrogen are gases while Nickle catalyst is in solid state.
