To solve this problem, we must assume ideal gas behaviour so that we can use Graham’s law:

vA / vB = sqrt (MW_B / MW_A)

where,

<span>vA = speed of diffusion of A (HBR)</span>

vB = speed of diffusion of B (unknown)

MW_B = molecular weight of B (unkown)

MW_A = molar weight of HBr = 80.91 amu

We know from the given that:

vA / vB = 1 / 1.49

So,

1/1.49 = sqrt (MW_B / 80.91)

MW_B = 36.44 g/mol

Since this unknown is also hydrogen halide, therefore this must be in the form of HX.

HX = 36.44 g/mol , therefore:

x = 35.44 g/mol

From the Periodic Table, Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of 35.44 g/mol. Therefore the hydrogen halide is:

The heat exchange in chemical reactions is due to a change in:

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

This would be due to enthalpy. This is because that this where heat exchange happens in chemical reactions.

So, a positive enthalpy means that the reaction is endothermic (heat entering) and if enthalpy is negative this will be a exothermic (heat released)

Another example would be the use of atoms. This example if temperature is the factor, this means that at low temp there is less kinetic energy so low temperature. However, an increase in energy means that there is more kinetic energy in the atoms which means that more collisions occurring.

Hope this helps !!!!

Have a nice day :)

Is the reaction mg²⁺(aq) + h₂o(l) → mgo(s) + 2h⁺(aq) endothermic or exothermic?

aliya0001 [1]

<span>If energy is released, the reaction is exothermic. If energy is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic. Since heat is being absorbed in this reaction (to break down H2O into H2 and O), the reaction is endothermic.</span>

The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the partial pressures of

baherus [9]

Answer:

"The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas"

Explanation:

Dalton's law of partial pressures state that, in a mixture of gases, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressure exerted by each gas of the mixture. The equation is:

Total pressure = Partial pressure Gas 1 + Partial pressure Gas 2 + .... + Partial pressure Gas n

To complete the sentence we can say:

"The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas"

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 10.6 grams of gaseous neon from

Alona [7]

Answer:

Approximately $1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

Look up the specific heat of gaseous neon:

$c = 1.03 \; \rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}$ .

Calculate the required temperature change:

$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of a sample of specific heat $C$ . Energy required to raise the temperature of this sample by $\Delta T$ :

$Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T$ .

For the neon gas in this question:

$c = 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}$ .
$m = 10.6\; \rm g$ .
$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Calculate the energy associated with this temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q &= c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T \\ &= 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 10.6\; \rm g \times 17.9\; \rm K \\ &\approx 1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .
