<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.

The heat of fusion for water is 80. cal/g. How many calories of heat are needed to melt a 35 g ice cube that has a temperature o

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: 2800 calories

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.

Amount of heat required to fuse 1 gram of water = 80 cal

Mass of ice given = 35 gram

Heat required to fuse 1 g of ice at $0^0C$ = 80 cal

Thus Heat required to fuse 35 g of ice = $\frac{80}{1}\times 35=2800cal$

Thus 2800 calories of energy is required to melt 35 g ice cube

How is mercury obtained and separated from other nearby substances?

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Most mercury forms in a sulfide ore called cinnabar, but mercury is also frequently found in small amounts in other ores. A common method for separating mercury from cinnabar is to crush the ore and then heat it in a furnace in order to vaporize the mercury. This vapor is then condensed into liquid mercury form.

Calculate the amount of heat required to completely sublime 55.0 g of solid dry ice CO2 at its sublimation temperature. The heat

aliina [53]

Answer:

40.4 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of CO₂ (m): 55.0 g

Heat of sublimation of CO₂ (ΔH°sub): 32.3 kJ/mol

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 55.0 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

n = 55.0 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 1.25 mol

Step 3: Calculate the heat (Q) required to sublimate 1.25 moles of CO₂

We will use the following expression.

Q = n × ΔH°sub

Q = 1.25 mol × 32.3 kJ/mol = 40.4 kJ

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 1000.0 mg of AgNO3 that has been dissolved in 500 mL of water

Vaselesa [24]

0.012moldm⁻³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of AgNO₃ = 1000mg

Volume of water = 500mL

Unknown:

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of a solute dissolved in volume of solvent.

Molarity = $\frac{xnumber of moles}{Volume}$

Number of moles of AgNO₃ = ?

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of AgNO₃ = 108 + 14 + 3(16) = 170g/mol

convert mass to g;

1000mg = 1g

Number of moles = $\frac{1}{170}$ = 0.00588moles

convert the given volume to dm³;

1000mL = 1dm³;

500mL = 0.5dm³

Now solve;

Molarity = $\frac{0.00588}{0.5}$ = 0.012moldm⁻³
