Given that the pressure, temperature and area of effusion is constant, the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass of the gas.
Mr Oxygen = 32
Mr Argon = 40
Effusion Oxygen = 1/√32
Effusion Argon = 1/√40
Effusion Oxygen / Effusion Argon = √(40) / √(32)
=√(40/32) = √(5/4) = 1.19
Thus, Oxygen will effuse 1.19 times faster than Argon. The second option is correct.
13111 is already an integer (whole number). It also can be expressed as 1 ton or 13111000g.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. An atom <span>with no valence electrons is most likely to part of of an ionic bond. This is because valence electrons are the particles that bonds to other atoms and in an ionic bond there is a complete transfer of electrons.</span>
