Answer:

The intermediates in this reaction are Cl and CCl₃.

Explanation:

  • To indicate the intermediate in this reaction, we should firstly define the intermediate.
  • The intermediate is the species that produced within the steps of the reaction and consumed in the later step/s and does not appear in the overall reaction (<em>neither reactants nor products</em>).
  • The mechanism of the reaction contains 3 steps:
  1. Cl₂ ↔ 2Cl
  2. Cl + CHCl₃ → HCl + CCl₃
  3. Cl + CCl₃ → CCl₄
  • The overall reaction is: Cl₂ + CHCl₃ → HCl + CCl₄
  • So, the intermediates in this reaction are Cl and CCl₃.
  • Thus, 2 moles of Cl is produced in the first step and consumed in the second and third steps.
  • 1 mole of CCl₃ is produced in the second step and consumed in the third step.

Under certain conditions Argon gas diffuses at a rate of 3.2 cm per second under the same conditions an unknown gas diffuses at
kozerog [31]

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}

Please Help!!<br><br> How does alpha decay change the nucleus of radioactive atom.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.
