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

Which properties are characteristic of metalloids?
Setler [38]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The right option is</u><u> (C) intermediate conductivity and a high melting point</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Metalloids usually look like metals but behave largely like nonmetals. Metalloids are shiny, brittle solids with intermediate good electrical conductivity. Their properties lie between metals and non metals. All metalloids exist as solids at room temperature and they have very high melting points. The physical properties of metalloids are more likely to be metallic, but their chemical properties tend to be non-metallic

10. What effect does temperature have on molecular motion? Using this explanation, explain why both pressure and volume can decr
vovangra [49]

Answer:

If the temperature increases the molecular movement as well, and if it increases the same it will happen with the molecular movement.

Pressure, volume and temperature are three factors that are closely related since they increase the temperature, the pressure usually decreases due to the dispersion of the molecules that can be generated, so the volume also increases.

If the temperature drops, the material becomes denser, its molecules do not collide with each other, their volume and pressure increases.

Explanation:

The pressure is related to the molecular density and the movement that these molecules have.

The movement is regulated by temperature, since if it increases, the friction and collision of the molecules also.

On the other hand, the higher the volume, the less pressure there will be on the molecules, since they are more dispersed among themselves.

(in the opposite case that the volume decreases, the pressure increases)

Example of oxidizing agents include
Ivahew [28]

Explanation:

Substances generally tends to specialize as either oxidizing or reducing agents.

An oxidizing agent is an electron acceptor which causes a co-reactant to be oxidized in a reaction.

Examples are:

   Non-metals especially oxygen and the halogens.

Other examples are H₂SO₄ , HNO₃, KMnO₄, K₂Cr₂O₇
