Estimate the molar mass of a gas that effuses at 1.6 times the effusion rate of CO2

1 answer:

7 0

To estimate the molar mass of the gas, we use Graham's law of effusion. This relates the rates of effusion of gases with their molar mass. We calculate as follows:

r1/r2 = √(m2/m1)

where r1 would be the effusion rate of the gas and r2 is for CO2, M1 is the molar mass of the gas and M2 would be the molar mass of CO2 (44.01 g/mol)

r1 = 1.6r2

1.6 = √(44.01 / m1)
m1 = 17.19 g/mol

Answer:

Neutral substance is the one that neither exhibits acidic properties nor basic. Such a type of substance has equal no. of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions. Due to the neutrality state these substances do not show changes in the indicators.

Which scenario would result in a population growth of zero? Use this formula: population growth = (birth rate + immigration) – (

swat32

Answer:

12 individuals are born 10 individuals emigrate, 4 individuals die, 14 individuals immigrate, 0 individuals are born

Explanation:

From the formula:

Population growth = (birth rate + immigration) – (death rate + emigration)

= (b + i) - (d + e)

For the first option, b = 12, i = 0, d = 12, e = 12

population growth = (12+0) - (12+12) = -12

For the second option: b = 13, i = 0, d = 3, e = 16

population growth = (13+0) - (3+16) = -6

For the third option: b = 12, i = 20, d = 0, e = 8

population growth = (12+20) - (0+8) = 24

For the last option: b = 0, i = 14, d = 4, e = 10

population growth = (0+14) - (4+10) = 0

Hence, the last option is the correct option.

Explain why atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids.

Ad libitum [116K]

Atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids because the atoms or particles in solids are closely bonded while they are loosely bonded in liquids.


The attractive forces between the particles are so high that they remain in fixed positions. The particles, then, cannot slip over the neighbors particles. They can only vibrate. That is why solids have definite form and volume.

That the particles in liquids are loosely bonded means that the attractive forces are less compared with solids. Then the partilces can move and pass each other. They are not in fixed arrangements any more. Yet the particles are attracted to each other, so they have definite volume, although they take the form of the vessel, and they can flow.
