Which gas will diffuse at a faster rate, CH4 with a molar mass of 16 g or

Chemistry
1 answer:
vivado [14]3 years ago

Answer:

CH₄ will diffuse at faster rate.

Explanation:

According to Graham's law,

The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mas of gas.

It  is given in question the molar mass of CH₄ is 16 g. Thus the square rot of 16 is.

√16 = 4

The molar mass of SO₂ is 64 g and the square root is,

√64 = 16

As it is stated that diffusion rate is inversely related to the square root of molar mass thus the diffusion rate of  SO₂ is lower while methane diffuse faster.

It is thought that Vitamin C might be an effective preventative
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

IF the fruit juice contains a high level of vitamin C, THEN the preventative effectiveness against common cold increases.

Explanation:

The hypothesis is a testable explanation of a scientific investigation. It aims at predicting the outcome of the experiment. One feature of the hypothesis is that it must be testable. The hypothesis is usually written in an "IF, THEN" format.

This question is regarding an experiment to test the amount of vitamin C in fruit juice. The vitamin C is thought to be an effective preventative against common cold. Hence, the hypothesis connects the effect on common cold (dependent variable) with the amount of vitamin C (independent variable). The hypothesis can be written as:

IF the fruit juice contains a high level of vitamin C, THEN the preventative effectiveness against common cold increases.

Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution. Zn(s)+MnO−4(aq)→ Zn+2(aq)+Mn+2(aq)
devlian [24]

Answer:

2MnO₄⁻ + 5Zn + 16H⁺ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 5Zn²⁺

Explanation:

To balance a redox reaction in an acidic medium, we simply follow some rules:

  1. Split the reaction into an oxidation and reduction half.
  2. By inspecting, balance the half equations with respect to the charges and atoms.
  3. In acidic medium, one atom of H₂O is used to balance up each oxygen atom and one H⁺ balances up each hydrogen atom on the deficient side of the equation.
  4. Use electrons to balance the charges. Add the appropriate numbers of electrons the side with more charge and obtain a uniform charge on both sides.
  5. Multiply both equations with appropriate factors to balance the electrons in the two half equations.
  6. Add up the balanced half equations and cancel out any specie that occur on both sides.
  7. Check to see if the charge and atoms are balanced.

Solution

                            Zn + MnO₄⁻ → Zn²⁺ + Mn²⁺

The half equations:

                      Zn → Zn²⁺                          Oxidation half

                      MnO₄⁻ → Mn²⁺                  Reduction half

Balancing of atoms(in acidic medium)

                     Zn → Zn²⁺

                    MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Balancing of charge

                   Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻

                    MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻→ Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Balancing of electrons

         Multiply the oxidation half by 5 and reduction half by 2:

                          5Zn → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻

                        2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻→ 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

Adding up the two equations gives:

              5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

The net equation gives:

         5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ → 5Zn²⁺ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

Lena [83]

1. ionic compound ,  aqueous cations  and aqueous anions

2. covalent compound aqueous covalent compound

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. A(n) <u>ionic compound </u> dissolves in water , H₂O(l), will produce <u>aqueous cations </u> and <u>aqueous anions </u>in solution.

When NaCl dissolves in water it will produce Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions in solution

2. A(n) <u>covalent compound </u> dissolves in water , H₂O(l), will produce <u>aqueous covalent compound </u>in solution.

When Ammonia (NH₃) dissolves in water it forms aqueous ammonia, NH₃(aq)

Organic compounds, like carbohydrates,  proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, are all good examples of covalent compounds.
