Answer:

20 g/mol

Explanation:

We can use <em>Graham’s Law of diffusion</em>:

The rate of diffusion (<em>r</em>) of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (<em>M</em>).

r = \frac{1 }{\sqrt{M}}

If you have two gases, the ratio of their rates of diffusion is

\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}

Squaring both sides, we get

(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})^{2} = \frac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}

Solve for <em>M</em>₂:

M_{2} = M_{1} \times (\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}})^{2}

M_{2} = \text{39.95 g/mol} \times (\frac{\text{3.2 cm/s}}{\text{4.5 cm/s}})^{2}= \text{39.95 g/mol} \times (0.711 )^{2}

= \text{39.95 g/mol} \times 0.506 = \textbf{20 g/mol}

Which of the following statements about material bonding is correct? C O a. Ionic bonds are formed by the sharing of valence ele
Zina [86]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In material bonding, there occurs Vander waal foces between the molecules in which their is either an induced or permanent dipole moment that attract molecules towards each other.

And, due to these forces the molecules are held together.

On the other hand, in a ionic bond there will always be transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This is because on atom which loses its valence electrons acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons acquires a negative charge.

Hence, these opposite charges strongly gets attracted towards each other forming a strong bond.

Whereas in a covalent bond, there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

In a metallic bond, there occurs a sea of electrons which is uniformly distributed throughout the solid substance or material.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, Van der Waals bonds are formed by Van der Waals forces in which molecules or atoms have either an induced or permanent dipole moment to attract each other, about material bonding is correct.

A 25-mL solution of H2SO4 is completely neutralized by 18 mL of 1.0M NaOH. What is the concentration of the H2SO4?
Charra [1.4K]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on the information's provided, the answer can be easily deduced.
V1 = 25 ml
     = 25/1000 liter
     = 0.025 liter
V2 = 18 ml
      = 18/1000 liter
      = 0.018 liter
M2 = 1.0 M
M1 = ?
Then
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = M2V2/V1
      = (1 * 0.018)/0.025
      = 0.72 M
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.

When an alkaline earth metal, a, reacts with a halogen, x, the formula of the covalent compund formed should be a2x?
Ierofanga [76]

Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.

Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra

Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.

Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At

When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.

When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.

For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get Mg_{1}Cl_{2} or MgCl_{2}

When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be AX_{2}
