Gas y effuses half as fast as o2. what is the molar mass of gas y?

Chemistry

devlian [24]3 years ago
4 0
To solve this question, we will use Graham's law which states that:
(R1 / R2) ^ 2 = M2 / M1 where
R1 and R2 are the rates of effusion and M1 and M2 are the molar masses of the two gases.
From the periodic table, we can calculate the molar mass of O2 as follows:
molar mass of O2 = 2*16 = 32 grams

Therefore we have:
R1 / R2 = Ry / RO2 = 1/2
M1 is My we want to get
M2 is molar mass of O2 = 32 grams
Substitute in the above equation to get the molar mass of y as follows:
(1/2) ^2 = (32/My)
1/4 = 32/My
My = 32*4 = 128

Therefore, molar mass of gas y = 128 grams

Explain in a short sentence how you can tell if a reaction is a double replacement<br> reaction.
Monica [59]

Explanation:

In a double displacement reaction, there is an actual exchange of partners to form new compounds.

The reaction is given as shown below:

         AB + CD →  AD + CB

One of the following conditions serves as the driving force for a double replacement reaction:

  • Formation of an insoluble compound or precipitate
  • Formation of water or any other non-ionizing compound
  • Liberation of a gaseous product.

How do the chemical characteristics of carbon affect the characteristics of organic molecules?
Tom [10]

Answer:

The chemical characteristics of carbon affect the characteristics of organic molecules due to its tetravalent nature. It has four valence electrons in which it shares with other elements in order to form an octet configuration.

Carbon atoms are also capable of forming double and triple bonds with other atoms. These properties help determine the functional group present and gives us a knowledge of the chemical features such as polarity, melting and boiling present in the compound.

Which statement describes the distribution of charge in an atom?
miv72 [106K]

The correct answer is:

A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons

The explanation:

when:

proton is a positively charged elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of all atomic nuclei.

neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen. The particle derives its name from the fact that it has no electrical charge

electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. It can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the nucleus of an atom .  

so, , there are positively charged protons and zero-charged neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, the nucleus is positively charged, Surrounding the nucleus, the electrons have negative charge. 

Thus, the correct answer is (3): A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons is correct.
