Answer: Different gases effuse at different rates because at a given temperature, gas particles with smaller masses move faster.

Explanation: The motion of particles in a gas depends on the kinetic energy of the gas particles which further depend on the temperature of the gas. Thus, the rate of gas given by Graham's law can only be stated when the two gases are at fixed temperature.

Graham's Law: This law states that the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its mass.

Mathematically,

\frac{(Rate)_1}{(Rate)_2}=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}

From the above relation, the gas particle with smaller mass will effuse faster at a given temperature.

Determine the differences In electronegativity ionic radius atomic radius and first ionization energy for oxygen and beryllium
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Electronegativity  = 1.87.

Ionic radius = 109 pm.

Atomic radius = -39 pm

First ionization energy = 410 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since electronegativity, ionic radius, atomic radius and first ionization energy are periodic properties that have specific trends, we can summarize it by realizing that oxygen and beryllium belong the same period 2 and differ in group, 6A and 2A respectively.

In such a way, the required comparison is written below:

Electronegativity = 3.44 (oxygen) - 1.57 (beryllium) = 1.87.

Ionic radius = 140 pm (oxygen)- 31 pm (beryllium) = 109.

Atomic radius = 73 pm (oxygen) - 112 pm (beryllium) = -39 pm

First ionization energy = 1310 kJ/mol (oxygen) - 900 kJ/mol (beryllium) = 410 kJ/mol

It means that electronegativity, ionic radius and first ionization energy increases from left to right whereas the atomic radius from right to left.

Best regards!

When you finish using the compound brightfield microscope, what should you have your lab instructor do?
ira [324]

Answer:

To check if it's properly cleaned.

Explanation:

When you finish using a microscope, you have to take out all your samples you were using and make sure it is completely clean so that no further contamination affects future sample analysis.

Also when you begin to use it, make sure it is clean so that when you analyze your sample(s) are free from other unexpected agents.

Potassium is isotopic and has RAM of 39.5 work out the percentage abundance of each isotope in a given sample of potassium which
Troyanec [42]

Yo sup??

Let the percentage of K-39 be x

then the percentage of K-40 is 100-(x+0.01)

We know that the net weight should be 39.5. Therefore we can say

(39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01)/100=39.5  

(since we are taking it in percent)

39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01=3950

39x+4000-40x-0.4+0.38=3950

2x=49.98

x=24.99

=25 (approx)

Therefore K-39 is 25% in nature and K-40 is 75% in nature.

Hope this helps.
