<span>At 20g with half-life of 5 minutes there would be 10g leftover in 5 minutes. In 10 mins, there would be 5g leftover. Half-life is actually what it says, it refers to time it takes for half of the active elements, etc to break down at which time the potency of the "product" is half as strong. This term is used mainly with radioactive items or medicines.</span>

Which gas will effuse at the rate closest At a particular pressure and temperature, nitrogen gas effuses at the rate of 79mLs. U
Contact [7]

Answer : The rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

or,

(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}       ..........(1)

where,

R_1 = rate of effusion of nitrogen gas = 79mL/s

R_2 = rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas = ?

M_1 = molar mass of nitrogen gas  = 28 g/mole

M_2 = molar mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 64 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

(\frac{79mL/s}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{64g/mole}{28g/mole}}

R_2=52mL/s

Therefore, the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.

Which of the following is true regarding the law of conservation of mass
Luda [366]
These are the answer options of this question and the comments about their validity:

<span>A) It dictates that the number of molecules on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.

False: the number of molecules can change. Take this simple reaction for example:

2H2(g) +  O2 -> 2H2O

You start with 3 molecules, 2 molecules of H2 and 1 molecule of O2, and end with 2 molecules of water. Then the number of molecules of each side is different.



B) It dictates that the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of a chemical equation.

TRUE: in a chemical reaction the atoms remain being the same at start and at the end of the process. Given that each atom has a characteristic mass, their conservation implies the law of conservation mass.


C) It states that the mass of the reactants must remain constant in order for a chemical reaction to proceed.

FALSE. The mass of the reactants changes during a chemical reaction, while they transform into the products.

D) It does not apply to chemical reactions.

FALSE: It is an important law used in the calculus related with chemical reactions.
