A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 0.225times as fast as gas. Write the chemical formula of the gas.
Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must apply Graham's law of diffusion. This law states that "the rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass at constant temperature and pressure".
Mathematically;
r₁ is the rate of diffusion of gas 1
r₂ is the rate of diffusion of gas 2
m₁ is the molar mass of gas 1
m₂ is the molar mass of gas 2
let gas 2 be the given H₂;
molar mass of H₂ = 2 x 1 = 2gmol⁻¹
rate of diffusion is 0.225;
i .e r1/r2 = 0.225
0.225 = √2 / √ m₁
0.225 = 1.414 / √ m₁
√ m₁ = 6.3
m₁ = 6.3² = 39.5g/mol
The gas is likely Argon since argon has similar molecular mass
Explanation:
1.
Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils whereas erosion is the movement of weathered materials from one area to the other.
Erosion moves weathered materials and it causes them to change position. For example loose chips of rocks broken down as the rock weakens through alternate wetting and drying in tropical regions will remain in-situ until the agents of erosion comes to carry them away. The breaking is weathering and the carrying is erosion.

Examples of mechanical weathering:
- Frost action
- Pressure release
Examples of chemical weathering:
There are two types of weathering:
- In mechanical weathering, a rock disintegrates into smaller chunks by the action of wind, water and glacier. For example in temperate and polar regions, water within rocks freezes. When water freezes it expands and causes tension within the rock. When temperature drops, water melts and the tension is relieved. This process causes a rock to crack. The crack will eventually become wider with time.
- In chemical weathering, a rock decomposes by the action of chemicals formed in the rock. In karst regions where limestone forms, combination of rain water and carbon dioxide forms weak carbonic acid that reacts with calcite in limestone.

Answer:
3.91 L
Explanation:
Using the ideal gas law equation as follows:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = pressure (atm)
V = volume (L)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)
T = temperature (K)
Based on the information given in this question,
P = 5.23 atm
V= ?
n = 0.831 mol
T = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300K
Using PV = nRT
V = nRT/P
V = (0.831 × 0.0821 × 300) ÷ 5.23
V = 20.47 ÷ 5.23
V = 3.91 L
