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}

Convert 32.56 km/hr into ft/hr
Gekata [30.6K]
Note that
1 m = 3.2808 ft

Therefore
1 km = 3280.8 ft
and
32.56 \,  \frac{km}{h} = (32.56 \,  \frac{km}{h})*(3280.8 \,  \frac{ft}{km}) =  1.0682 \, \times 10^{5} \, \frac{ft}{h}

Answer: 1.0682 x 10⁵ ft/hr

Give three examples, from the lab, where potential energy was converted to kinetic energy.
GREYUIT [131]

Give 3 Examples of where potential energy was converted to knlinetic energy:

Curtain

A ball before moving

An apple from the tree then falling down

When the Curtains are still, we call the that potential energy. If you move the curtains around, that is kinetic energy

The ball is still, that is potential energy. Then the ball is moving, the is kinetic energy

There is a apple ganging from a tree, that is potential energy. That apple is fall, this is kinetic energy

Hope this helps

Don't type or write in the answer, I'm not sure what from the lab means. These are a few potential into kinetic energy I could have think of!
