Answer: Argon

Explanation:

To find the <em>amount of an unknown noble gas that requires 157 seconds fo effuse from a container from which a same amount of sample of neon effuses in 77 seconds</em>, you must use Graham's Law of effusion.

Graham's law of effusion states the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the masses of its particles. Mathematically, that is:

\frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2}=\sqrt{\frac{MolarMass_2}{MolarMass_1}}

Since, the other conditions (amount of gas and container) are the same for both gases, the rates and the times are inversely proportional; this is:

\frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2}=\frac{Time_2}{Time_1}

  • By using the previous equations, you can <u>relate the times and the molar masses of the gases</u>:

\sqrt{\frac{MolarMass_2}{MolarMass_1}}=\frac{Time_2}{Time_1}

  • <u>Clear the unknown molar mass</u>:

\frac{MolarMass_2}{MolarMass_1}={(\frac{Time_2}{Time_1})}^2\\ \\ \\MolarMass_2=(\frac{Times_2}{Time_1} )^2 .MolarMass_1

  • <u>Substitute the data</u>:

MolarMass₂ = (157 s / 77 s) × MolarMass₁

  • <u>From a periodic table</u>, obtain the molar mass of neon gas:

Molar Mass₁ = 20.180 g/mol

∴ MolarMass₂ = (157 s / 77 s) × 20.180 g/mol = 41  g/mol

  • Again from the periodic table, <u>find the noble gas with the molar mass closest to 41 g/mol</u>.

        It is argon. The molar mass of argon is 30.948 g/mol. So, argon (Ar) is the answer.

The density of copper is 8.9 g/mL. What is the volume of 20.5 g copper?
love history [14]

Answer:

density = 8.9 g/ml

m = 20.5 g

V = ... ?

density = m/V

V = m / density

= 20.5 / 8.9

= 2.30337 ml

Where are the metalloids located on the periodic table?
algol [13]

Answer: The metalloids are a group of elements in the periodic table. They are located to the right of the post-transition metals and to the left of the non-metals. Metalloids have some properties in common with metals and some in common with non-metals.

❖ In order to keep the bench from conducting heat, Shane could build it out of wood. Wood doesn't conduct heat so this would work best for Shane.
