Answer: 4 g/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

Molar mass of neon =  20 g/mol

Molar mass of unknown gas = ?g/mol

For the rate of diffusion of neon to unknown gas (X), we write the expression:

\frac{Rate_{Ne}}{Rate_{X}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{X}}{M_{Ne}}}

\frac{4.5}{10.1}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{X}}{20}

{M_{X}}=4g/mol

Hence, the approximate molar mass of the unknown gas is 4 g/mol

Most of the water a vascular plant takes in ______. Goes back into the soil Evaporates in the process of transpiration Is used t
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

EVAPORATES IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSPIRATION

Explanation:

Plants takes in water from the soul via it's root system. Small amount of the water are used for growth and metabolism of the plants. Some are used in the process of photosynthesis. The bulk of the remaining are lost through transpiration. This takes place in the stomata of the plants. The stomata are numerous on the leaf surfaces and are guarded by cells which allow for opening and closing of the stomata. Transpiration helps the plants to remove CO2 produced by photosynthesis, cools the plant and also changes osmotic pressure of the plant which allows for the flow of nutrients and water from the root to the leaves, flowers, fruits.

During chemical weathering, forsterite is dissolved by the carbonic acid in rainwater. The weathering reaction is as follows:
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Keqq = 310

Note: Some parts of the question were missing. The missing values are used in the explanation below.

Explanation:

<em>Given values: ΔH° = -178.8 kJ/mol = -178800 J/mol; T = 25°C = 298.15 K; ΔS° = -552 J/mol.K; R = 8.3145 J/mol.K</em>

Using the formula ΔG° = -RT㏑Keq

㏑Keq = ΔG°/(-RT)

where ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°

㏑Keq = ΔH° - TΔS°/(-RT)

㏑Keq = {-178800 - (-552 * 298.15)} / -(8.3145 * 298.15)

㏑Keq = -14221.2/-2478.968175

㏑Keq = 5.73674166

Keq = e⁵°⁷³⁶⁷⁴¹⁶⁶

Keq = 310.05

The graph below compares the motion of particles in two substances. One substance is a gas and the other is a solid. A bar graph
Shalnov [3]

Answer is: Particles are farther apart in gases so Substance B is a gas.

For example, nitrogen molecules have weakest intermolecular bonds in gas phase and move fast and without order.  

Cooling is change from gas to solids. In solid state (for example ice) movement of molecules is more slow than movement of molecules in the gas (for example water vapor).

The process by which a solid changes directly to a gas without first becoming a liquid is called c. sublimation.

Sublimation is an endothermic process. For example dry ice (carbon(IV) oxide in solid state) is used because of sublimation in nightclubs, fog machines, at theaters, haunted house attractions.
