Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out to evenly fill its container or environment. Rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the molar mass of the gas.

$Rate of diffusion \propto \frac{1}{Molar mass}$

Lighter(lower) the molar mass of the gas , faster will be its rate of diffusion and heavier (higher) the molar mass of the gas , slower will be its rate of diffusion.

We have to arrange the given gases from slowest rate of diffusion to fastest rate of diffusion that means we need to arrange gases from higher molar mass to lower molar mass.

Molar mass of given gases are :

Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Xe = 131.29 g/mol

He = 4.00 g/mol

N = 14.00 g/mol

So correct order for slowest rate of diffusion (highest molar mass) to fastest rate of diffusion (lowest molar mass) is :

Xe , Cl , N , He

Xe having the highest molar mass will have the slowest rate of diffusion and He with lowest molar mass will have the fastest rate of diffusion, so option 'c' is correct.

Note : Slowest rate of diffusion = High Molar Mass

Fastest rate of diffusion = Low Molar Mass

Which of the following substances is most likely to be a liquid at room temperature?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.hydrogen peroxide H₂O₂H₂O₂

Explanation:

Substances can be found in nature in different <em>aggregation states. </em>

Agreggation states can be liquid, gas or solid.

The problem asks about which substance can be found in room temperature as <em>liquid.</em> Each subtances has different physical and chemical properties that determines in which state you can find them at room temperature.

Hydrogen peroxide is the only substance listed that is in liquid state at room temperature, all other substances are in gas state at room temperature.

An isotope has 15 protons, 16 neutrons, and 15 electrons. What is the isotopic notation of the isotope

VikaD [51]

Answer:

$^{31}_{15}P$ is the isotopic notation of the atom

Explanation:

The isotope notation is:

$^a_bX$

<em>Where a is the mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons</em>

<em>b is atomic number = Number of protons</em>

The atomic number define the nature of the atom, the element with atomic number = 15 is phosphorus, P:

$^a_bP$

a = 15 protons + 16 neutrons = 31

b = 15

$^{31}_{15}P$ is the isotopic notation of the atom.

7. Calculate the amount of energy required heat 100.g to <br> H2O(s) changes to H2O(l) at 0°C

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

33300J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ice = 100g

Unknown:

Amount of energy = ?

Solution:

This is a phase change process from solid to liquid. In this case, the latent heat of melting of ice is 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg.

So;

H = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of melting ice

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

H = mL

mass from gram to kilogram;

100g gives 0.1kg

H = 0.1 x 3.33 x 10⁵ = 33300J
