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

What can be explained by the Arrhenius theory?
vekshin1
Arrhenius theory is a theory about acids and bases. It says that acids are those substances that produces hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution and bases are the substances that dissiociates and produces hydroxide ions (OH-). It was introduced by Svante Arrhenius.

Depression what are the effects to the brain
oksian1 [2.3K]
Depression can affect a person psychologically, it also has the potential to affect physical structures in the brain. These physical changes range from inflammation and oxygen restriction, to actual shrinking. Depression can impact the central control center of nervous system. Depression can cause amygdala to enlarge. This is a part of the brain associated with emotional responses. When amygdala becomes larger and more active, it causes sleep disturbances, changes in activity levels, and changes in other hormones.

Which of the solutions have greatest osmotic pressure 30% sucrose 60% sucrose or 30% magnesium sulfate?
zaharov [31]
<span>Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be. Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.</span>
