Answer : The unknown monoatomic gas is, argon.

Explanation :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

$R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}$

or,

$(\frac{R_2}{R_1})=\sqrt{\frac{M_1}{M_2}}$ ..........(1)

where,

$R_1$ = rate of effusion of unknown gas = 2R

$R_2$ = rate of effusion of $Br_2$ gas = R

$M_1$ = molar mass of unknown gas = ?

$M_2$ = molar mass of $Br_2$ gas = 160 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$(\frac{R}{2R})=\sqrt{\frac{M_1}{160g/mole}}$

$M_1=40g/mol$

From the molar mass 40 g/mol we conclude that the unknown monoatomic gas will be, argon.

Therefore, the unknown monoatomic gas is, argon.

The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to ____.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The answer is Facilitated Diffusion

Explanation:

Osmosis is most similar to facilitated diffusion.

Osmosis can be defined as : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution.

Facilitated diffusion is defined as: Facilitated diffusion is the flow of molecules requiring the aid of a protein, across a membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.

What changes are observed on heat capacity ratio and output temperatures by increasing the specific heat capacity of both the fl

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

b- The heat capacity ratio increases but output temperature don’t change

Explanation:

The heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a body, by 1 degree. On the other hand, the specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a of unit mass of a material by 1 degree.

Heat capacity is an extensive property meaning its value depends on the amount of material. Specific heat capacity is found by dividing heat capacity by the mass of the sample, thus making it independent of the amount (intensive property). So if the specific heat capacity increases and the mass of the sample remains the same, the heat capacity must increase too. Because of that options c and d that say that heat capacity reamins same are INCORRECT.

On the other hand, in which has to be with options a and b both say that the heat capacity increases which is correct, but about the output temperatures what happens is that if we increase the specific heat capacity of both fluids that are involved in a process of heat exchange in the same value, the value of the output temperatures do not change so only option a is CORRECT.

Which of the following transitions represent the emission of a photon with the largest energy?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

n=6 to n=3 (B)

Explanation:

Energy of an electron present in the $n^{th}$ orbit is directly proportional to $n^{2}$ .Hence a transistion from one orbit to another orbit emits an energy proportional to the difference of their squares of the orbits. that is if an electron travels from orbit n1 to orbit n2 then it emits an energy corresponding to $n_{1} ^{2} -n_{2} ^{2}$ .So in the above question the highest energy emission occurs when an electron moves from n=6 to n=3.(Highest difference of energy levels).
