<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.

Why have we not drilled or mined deeper into earth ??
alexdok [17]
<span>Scientists have determined that the center of the earth is 6371 km below the surface. But how has this been determined? Many people might answer that question by saying scientists can drill into the Earth with machines. However, the drilling rigs that scientists use can only drill about 20 km in the Earth which is not very deep! In other words, we can only drill into upper part of the crust of the earth. Extremely high temperatures and pressures within the Earth make drilling into it very difficult</span>

Which of the following statements is false? Check all that apply. Gases are far more compressible than liquids The volume occupi
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The false statement is: 3. Because liquid water and liquid carbon tetrachloride do not mix, neither do their vapors

Explanation:

Gas is a state of matter, that has <u>less density than liquids and solids</u>. The gaseous particles have low intermolecular forces and thus they can move freely.

It is a very <u>compressible fluid</u> that has no fixed shape. Gas occupies the whole container in which it is stored, thus taking the shape of the container. Therefore, <u>the volume of the gas is equal to the volume of the container.</u>

<u>Polar liquid like water (H₂O) and nonpolar liquid like carbon tetrachloride, are immiscible. However, in the gaseous state, their vapors form a  homogeneous mixture.</u>
