Answer:

Atoms are composed of electrically charged particles and moving electric charges possess an associated magnetic field.

Explanation:

An atom is made up of electrons arranged in shells. Electrons are negatively charged. These charged particles produce an electric field which can interact with an external electric field to give information about atomic structure.

Similarly, a moving electron produces an associated magnetic field which can couple with an external magnetic field to give information about atomic structure.

Which has a greater amount of particles, 1.00 mole of hydrogen (H) or 1.00 moles of oxygen(0)?

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Both have the same amount of particles.

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ particles.

This implies that 1 mole of Hydrogen contains 6.02×10²³ particles. Also, 1 mole of oxygen contains 6.02×10²³ particles.

Thus, 1 mole of Hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen contains the same number of particles.

The molar mass of an unknown gas was measured by an effusion experiment. It was found that it took 60 s for the gas to effuse, w

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to solve this problem using Graham's law that says: Rates of effusion are inversely dependent on the square of the mass of each gas. That is:

$\frac{r_1}{r_2} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{M_1} }$
