Answer: 1:4.69
Explanation:
The ratio can be expressed as:
Ua/Ub= √(Mb/Ma)
Where Ua/Ub is the ratio of velocity of hydrogen to carbon dioxide and Ma is the molecular mass of hydrogen gas= 2
Mb is the molecular mass of CO2 = 44
Therefore
Ua/Ub= √(44/2)
Ua/Ub = 4.69
Therefore the ratio of velocity of hydrogen gas to carbon dioxide = 1:4.69
which implies hydogen is about 4.69 times faster than carbon dioxide.
Covalent since they are both non metals, a metal and a non metal make an ionic bond
