The answer is C. 146g because you add all of the masses of the individual elements and then mulyiply by 1.72 to get your answer.
Answer:
D. chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.
Explanation:
- Thomas Graham found that, at a constant temperature and pressure the rates of effusion of various gases are inversely proportional to the square root of their masses.
<em>ν ∝ 1/√M</em>
where ν is the rate of effusion and M is the atomic or molecular mass of the gas particles.
- The molecular mass for the listed gases are:
O₂: 32.0 g/mol,
Cl₂: 70.906 g/mol,
N₂: 28.0 g/mol,
H₂: 2.0 g/mol.
- Hence, the smallest molecular mass of the gas, the fastest rate of effusion.
So, the order from the slowest to the fastest rate of effusion is:
<em>Chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.</em>
False, they are all different because they help you know different things.
