Rate of Effusion of Unknown gas  =  rX  =  0.5

Rate of Effusion of Hydrogen        =  rH  =  1

M.mass of Hydrogen                     = mH  =  2 g/mol

M.mass of Unknown gas              = mX  =  ?

Formula used:

                            rH / rX  = √mX / mH

taking square on both sides,
 
                            r²H / r²X  =  mX / mH
Solving for mX,
                                      mX  = (r²H ÷ r²X) × mH
Putting values,
                                      mX  =  [1² ÷ (0.5)²] × 2 g/mol

                                      mX  =  (1 ÷ 0.25) × 2 g/mol
            
                                      mX  =  4 × 2 g/mol

                                      mX  =  8 g/mol

Result:
           Molecular Mass of Unknown gas is 8 g/mol.

How do water molecules behave?
bulgar [2K]
Water is polar meaning that it has prominent areas of negative and positive charge. Among water molecules there is a weak force called hydrogen bonding which causes the molecules to "stick" to one another. This sticking to itself is called cohesion, and it causes water to ball up into droplets. This same force also causes water to stick to other kinds of molecules. This is called adhesion, and it is what causes water to ride up on the side of a water container slightly.

Volcano help! *I GIVE THANKS!*
Pani-rosa [81]
A volcanic <em>eruption</em> occurs when the <em>pressure </em> in a magma <em>chamber</em> becomes so great it is released like a valve. Magma is released through the volcano's <em>cone</em> in an eruption of <em>lava</em> rocks (bombs) and ash. A volcanic <em>cone</em> develops over centuries as flowing <em>lava</em> from the active volcano <em>cools </em>to form layers of rock.

If 0.583 g of ammonia (NH3) is dissolved to make 250 mL of solution, what is the molarity?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

0.137 M NH3

Explanation:

First divide the mass of NH3 by the molar mass of NH3, and then divide by the volume to get molarity.

0.583 g / 17.031 g/mol = 0.0342 mol NH3

0.0342 mol NH3 / 0.250 L = 0.137 M NH3

Which argument best explains the charge of an atomic nucleus?
xeze [42]
The answer is "<span>An atomic nucleus is positively charged because it is composed of protons". An atomic nucleus actually contains nucleons which are made up of both protons and neutrons. Since neutrons are neutral or have no charge, the charge of an atomic nucleus mainly relies on the positive charge of the protons.</span>
