To answer this question, you need to know <span>Graham's Law of Effusion/Diffusion formula. In this formula, the rate of diffusion/effusion would be influenced by the mass. As the molecule has bigger mass, the rate should be slower because it will be harder to pass the membrane. The calculation should be:</span>
<span>Rate 1 / Rate 2 = √[M2/M1] 
</span>4.11/1= √[M2/2] 
M2=33.78 g/mol

Answer:

33.78 g/mol

Explanation:

Diffusion is the transportation of the molecules by their movements from the fluid. It can be characterized by Graham's Law, which states that the rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square of the molar mass. The rate is also the amount divided bt the time of diffusion.

Calling the amount x, the time t and the molar mass M, and H2 as the substance 1, the ratio between the rates of the gases is:

(x1/t1)/(x2/t2) = (√M2)/(√M1)

For the same amount of gas, x1 = x2, the gas 2 is 4.11 times slowly, so t2 = 4.11t1 (if it slowly it will take longer to diffuse). The molar mass of H2 is 2 g/mol. Thus:

t2/t1 = (√M2)/√2

4.11t1/t1 = (√M2)/√2

4.11 = (√M2)/√2

√M2 = 4.11*√2

√M2 = 5.8124

M2 = (5.8124)²

M2 = 33.78 g/mol

is the element Silicon.
The key to deciphering this is to look at the last bit of information of the electron configuration

.
The '3' informs us that the element is in the 3rd Energy Level or row of the periodic table. The 'p' tells us that the element is found in the p-block which are all of the Groups to the right of the transition metals, columns 13-18. The superscript '2' tells us that the element is found in the 2nd column of the p-block Group 14.

Which statement defines specific heat capacity for a given sample
avanturin [10]

The statement that defines the specific heat capacity for a given sample is the quantity of heat that is required to raise 1 g of the sample by 1°C (Kelvin) at a constant pressure.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity?</h3>

Specific heat capacity is the of heat to increase the temperature per unit mass.

The formula to calculate the specific heat is Q = mct.

The options are attached here:

  1. The temperature of a given sample is 1 %.
  2. The temperature that a given sample can withstand.
  3. The quantity of heat that is required to raise the sample's temperature by 1 °C1 °C (Kelvin).
  4. The quantity of heat that is required to raise 1 g of the sample by 1°C (Kelvin) at a constant pressure.

Thus, the correct option is 4. The quantity of heat that is required to raise 1 g of the sample by 1°C (Kelvin) at a constant pressure.
