<h3>Answer:</h3>

Chlorine gas (Cl₂)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to the Graham's law of diffusion, the diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density or molar mass.
Therefore, a lighter gas will diffuse faster at a given temperature compared to a heavy gas.
Consequently, the heavier a gas is then the denser it is and the slower it diffuses at a given temperature and vice versa.

In this case we are given gases, CI₂

, H₂,He and Ne.

We are required to identify the gas that will diffuse at the slowest rate.
In other words we are required to determine the heaviest gas.

Looking at the molar mass of the gases given;

Cl₂- 70.91 g/mol

H₂- 2.02 g/mol

He - 4.00 g/mol

Ne- 20.18 g/mol

Therefore, chlorine gas is the heaviest and thus will diffuse at the slowest rate among the choices given.

A 46.9 gram sample of a substance has a volume of about 3.5 centimeters3. It is solid at a room temperature of 23ºC. Out of the

horrorfan [7]

Answer : (C) Hafnium is the most likely identity of the given substance.

Solution : Given,

Mass of given substance (m) = 46.9 g

Volume of given substance (V) = 3.5 $Cm^{3}$

First, find the Density of given substance.

Formula used :

$Density=\frac{\text{Mass of given substance}}{\text{Voume of given substance}}$

Now,put all the values in this formula, we get

$Density=\frac{46.9 g}{3.5 Cm^{3} }$ = 13.4 g/ $Cm^{3}$

So, we conclude that the density of given substance (13.4 g/ $Cm^{3}$ ) is approximately equal to the density of Mercury and Hafnium (13.53 and 13.31 g/ $Cm^{3}$ respectively).

According to the question the substance is solid at room temperature but Mercury is liquid at room temperature. So, Mercury is not identical to the given substance.

Another element i.e, Hafnium is the element whose density is approximately equal to the given substance and also solid at room temperature. And we know that the melting point of solid is high.

So, Hafnium is the most likely element which is the identity of the given substance.

What is the new pressure of gas?

Hunter-Best [27]

The pressure of a gas is the force that the gas exerts on the walls of its container. When you blow air into a balloon, the balloon expands because the pressure of air molecules is greater on the inside of the balloon than the outside. Pressure is a property which determines the direction in which mass flows.
