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.

If the half life of iridium-182 is 15 years, how much of a 3 gram sample is left after 2 half-lives?

padilas [110]

Answer:

D. 0.75 grams

Explanation:

The data given on the iridium 182 are;

The half life of the iridium 182, $t_{(1/2)}$ = 15 years

The mass of the sample of iridium, N₀ = 3 grams

The amount left, N(t) after two half lives is given as follows;

$N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}} }$

For two half lives, t = 2 × $t_{(1/2)}$

∴ t = 2 × 15 = 30

$\dfrac{t}{t_{(1/2)}} = \dfrac{30}{15} = 2$

$\therefore N(t) = 3 \times\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^2 = 0.75$

∴ The amount left, N(t) = 0.75 grams

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per

Nata [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.

Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.

Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.

In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.

Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.
