Two identical containers, one red and one yellow, are inflated with different gases at the same volume and pressure. Both contai

ners have an identically sized hole that allows the gas to leak out. It takes four times as long for the yellow container to leak out compared to the red container. If the red container is twice as hot as the yellow container, what is the ratio of the molar masses of the gases (Myellow / Mred)

Answer:

8

Explanation:

Here we're dealing with the root mean square velocity of gases. We'll provide the formula in order to calculate the root mean square velocity of a gas:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

Here:

R = 8.314 \frac{J}{K mol} is the ideal gas law constant;

T is the absolute temperature in K;

M is the molar mass of a compound in kg/mol.

We know that the gas from the red container is 4 times faster, as it takes 4 times as long for the yellow container to leak out, this means:

\frac{v_{rms, red}}{v_{rms, yellow}} = 4

We also know that the temperature of the red container is twice as large:

\frac{T_{red}}{T_{yellow}} = 2

Write the ratio of the velocities and substitute the variables:

\frac{v_{rms, red}}{v_{rms, yellow}}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{3RT_{red}}{M_{red}}}}{\sqrt{\frac{3RT_{yellow}}{M_{yellow}}}}=4

Then:

\frac{\sqrt{\frac{3RT_{red}}{M_{red}}}}{\sqrt{\frac{3RT_{yellow}}{M_{yellow}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT_{red}}{M_{red}}\cdot \frac{M_{yellow}}{3RT_{yellow}}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{red}}{T_{yellow}}\cdot \frac{M_{yellow}}{M_{red}}}=4

From here:

16 = \frac{T_{red}}{T_{yellow}}\cdot \frac{M_{yellow}}{M_{red}}

Then:

\frac{M_{yellow}}{M_{red}} = \frac{16}{\frac{T_{red}}{T_{yellow}}} = \frac{16}{2} = 8

A sample of an uranium compound is found to be losing mass gradually. Explain what is happening to the sample.​
yan [13]

Answer:

The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive

Explanation:

Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.

Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.

Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.

Which element would have the lowest electronegativity? (1 point)
irinina [24]

The element that will have the lowest electronegativity is an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius.

Electronegativity of an element is the ability or power of that element in a molecule to attract electrons to its Valence electrons.  The following are the properties of electronegativity:

  • It increases across a period from left to right of the periodic table,
  • It decreases down the periodic table groups
  • Group 1 elements are the least (lowest) electronegative elements. These elements have the lowest valence electrons with a large atomic radius.
  • Group 7 elements are the most electronegative elements.

Atomic radius of elements increase down a group because of a progressive increase in the number of shells occupied by electrons which increases the size. But it decreases across a period because electrons are accommodated within the same shell leading to greater attraction by the protons in the nucleus.

What is the total number of moles represented by 20 grams of CACO3
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

B. 0.2.

Explanation:

  • We can use the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em>

mass of CaCO₃ = 20 g, molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.0869 g/mol.

<em>∴ n = mass/molar mass = </em>(20 g)/(100.0869 g/mol) <em>= 0.1998 ≅ 0.2 mol.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: B. 0.2.</em>
