If we assume the rate of diffusion of oxygen is 1 , then that of the unknown gas is 1/2.
From the Grahams law of diffusion;
R1/R2= √mm2/√mm1
 1/0.5 = √mm2/√32
   4 = mm2/32
mm2 = 128
Therefore the molecular mass of the unknown gas i 128 g/mol
I therefore think the gas is Hydrogen iodide
since, H=1, I= 127 , thus HI = 128 g/mol

Which process is expected to have an increase in entropy?
olganol [36]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Degree of randomness of the molecules of a substance is known as entropy. More is the kinetic energy between the molecules of a substance more will be the degree of randomness.

Therefore, when a substance is present in a gaseous state then it has the maximum entropy. In liquid state, molecules are closer to each other so, there is less randomness between them.

On the other hand, in solid state molecules are much more closer to each other as they arr held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Therefore, they have very less entropy.

  • When liquid water is formed from gaseous hydrogen and oxygen molecules then gas is changing into liquid. So, there is decrease in entropy.
  • When N_{2}O_{4} decomposes then the reaction will be as follows.

            N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Since, 1 mole is producing 2 moles. This means that degree of randomness is increasing as both the molecules are present in gaseous form.

  • In formation of a precipitate, aqueous solution is changing into solid state. Hence, degree of randomness is decreasing.
  • Rusting of iron also leads to the formation of solid as it forms Fe_{2}O_{3}.xH_{2}O.

Thus, we can conclude that decomposition of N_{2}O_{4} gas to NO_{2} gas is the process that is expected to have an increase in entropy.

Arrange the compounds in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy:
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is CaO > LiBr > KI.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge and is inversely proportional to the size. The compound LiBr comprises Li+ and Br- ions, KI comprises K+ and I- ions, and CaO comprise Ca²⁺ and O²⁻ ions.  

With the increase in the charge, there will be an increase in lattice energy. In the given case, the lattice energy of CaO will be the highest due to the presence of +2 and -2 ions. K⁺ ions are larger than Li⁺ ion, and I⁻ ions are larger than Br⁻ ion.  

The distance between Li⁺ and Br⁻ ions in LiBr is less in comparison to the distance between K⁺ and I⁻ ions in KI. As a consequence, the lattice energy of LiBr is greater than KI. Therefore, CaO exhibits the largest lattice energy, while KI the smallest.

A molecule with 14 total electrons and 12 total protons
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Tenochtitlan was located on a swampy island in Lake Texcoco in what is today south central Mexico. The Aztecs were able to settle there because no one else wanted the land. At first, it wasn't a great place to start a city, but soon the Aztecs built up islands where they could grow crops. The water also worked as a natural defense against attacks from other cities.
