Which of the following gases effuses the fastest at a given temperature?

Chemistry

Sholpan [36]3 years ago

7 0

Answer: -

H₂ will diffuse the fastest.

Explanation: -

According to Graham's Law of Diffusion

The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of it's density or molar mass. So the lower the molar mass faster the rate of diffusion.

Molar mass of Ne = 20 g / mol

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 x 1 + 1 x 4 = 16 g /mol

Molar mass of Ar = 40g / mol

Molar mass of H₂ = 1 x 2 = 2 g / mol

Thus H₂ will diffuse the fastest.

Dolomite is a mixed carbonate of calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium carbonates both decompose upon heating to produce

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

72.03 %

Explanation:

Total mass of dolomite = 9.66 g

Let the mass of Magnesium carbonate = x g

The mass of calcium carbonate = 9.66 - x g

Calculation of the moles of Magnesium carbonate as:-

Molar mass of Magnesium carbonate = 122.44 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{x\ g}{84.3139\ g/mol}=\frac{x}{84.3139}\ mol$

Calculation of the moles of calcium carbonate as:-

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{9.66 - x\ g}{100.0869\ g/mol}=\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\ mol$

According to the reaction shown below:-

$MgCO_3\rightarrow MgO+CO_2$

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

In both the cases, the oxides formed from the carbonates in the 1:1 ratio.

So, Moles of MgO = $\frac{x}{84.3139}\ mol$

Molar mass of MgO = 40.3044 g/mol

Thus, Mass = Moles*Molar mass = $\frac{x}{84.3139}\times 40.3044 \ g$

Moles of CaO = $\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\ mol$

Molar mass of CaO = 56.0774 g/mol

Thus, Mass = Moles*Molar mass = $\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\times 56.0774 \ g$

Given that total mass of the oxide = 4.84 g

Thus,

$\frac{x}{84.3139}\times 40.3044 +\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\times 56.0774=4.84$

$\frac{40.3044x}{84.3139}+56.0774\times \frac{-x+9.66}{100.0869}=4.84$

$-694.1618435x+45673.48749\dots =40843.38968\dots$

$x=\frac{4830.09780\dots }{694.1618435}$

$x=6.9582$

Thus, the mass of Magnesium carbonate = 6.9582 g

$\%\ mass=\frac{Mass_{MgCO_3}}{Total\ mass}\times 100$

$\%\ mass=\frac{6.9582}{9.66}\times 100=72.03\ \%$

Which of the following best describes how an ionic compound dissolves in water?

Nadusha1986 [10]

The statement that best describes how an ionic compound dissolves in water is as follows: it separates into individual molecules and is an electrolyte, which is option C.

<h3>What is an ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic compound is any compound is a chemical compound composed of ions (charged atoms) held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding.

Ionic compounds are electrolytes i.e. a substance when, in solution or when molten, ionizes and conducts electricity.

For example; sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound breaks down into sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ion (Cl-).

Therefore, the statement that best describes how an ionic compound dissolves in water is as follows: it separates into individual molecules and is an electrolyte.

The mechanism for producing a concentrated urine involves all of the following except

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is "obligatory water reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule".

Explanation:

The mechanism for producing concentrated urine cannot include the obligatory reabsorption of water in the proximal convoluted tubule since this process is part of the nephron, the system that filters the blood. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed almost entirely, as are approximately 70% of filtered potassium and 80% of bicarbonate.

Have a nice day!
