A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 0.225times as fast as gas. Write the chemical formula of the gas.
Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must apply Graham's law of diffusion. This law states that "the rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass at constant temperature and pressure".
Mathematically;
r₁ is the rate of diffusion of gas 1
r₂ is the rate of diffusion of gas 2
m₁ is the molar mass of gas 1
m₂ is the molar mass of gas 2
let gas 2 be the given H₂;
molar mass of H₂ = 2 x 1 = 2gmol⁻¹
rate of diffusion is 0.225;
i .e r1/r2 = 0.225
0.225 = √2 / √ m₁
0.225 = 1.414 / √ m₁
√ m₁ = 6.3
m₁ = 6.3² = 39.5g/mol
The gas is likely Argon since argon has similar molecular mass
C. Electrical conductivity, that means it can pass electricity through wires if needed, think of your phone charger as an example
1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine
Explanation:
Chlorine gas (#Cl_2#) has two atoms of elemental chlorine in a molecule, so:
#1# mol of #Cl_2# have #6*10^23# molecules of #Cl_2#
#1# molecule of #Cl_2# have #2# atoms per molucule
Then #2*6*10^23 = 1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine in a mol of chlorine gas
The answer to both is D. Here's why:
For the first, whenever motion changes in a magnetic field, it causes electrons to move. Electricity, which is needed to power a lightbulb, is just a term for movement of these electrons. Electrons aren't created, they're always there in the wire. It's just that the permanent magnet gets them to move, which produces electricity.
For the second, it is very similar to the first. A magnet won't cause any electric current at rest, it always requires motion in order to produce an electric current. If you keep both of those in mind, it should help in the future. Hope this helps!
