Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Rate of diffusion is defined as the total movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration.

The interaction between medium and the material is responsible for the rate of diffusion of a material or substance.

A small concentration gradient means small difference in the number of molecules taking part in a reaction. So, when there no large difference between the concentration then there won't be much difference in the rate of diffusion of a material.

Whereas a higher concentration of molecules will lead to more number of collisions due to which frequency of molecules increases. Therefore, rate of diffusion will also increase.

Small molecule size will also lead to increases in rate of diffusion. This is because according to Graham's law rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to molar mass of an element. Hence, smaller size molecule will have smaller mass. As a result, rate of diffusion will be more.

High temperature means more kinetic energy of molecules due to which more number of collisions will be there. Hence, rate of diffusion will also increase.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options a small concentration gradient  is least likely to increase the rate of diffusion.

Calculate the molar mass of cacl2
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 110.98 \ g/mol}}

Explanation:

The molar mass is the mass of a substance in grams per mole.

To find it, add the mass of each element in the compound. These masses can be found on the Periodic Table.

The compound given is:

CaCl_2

The compound has 1 Ca (calcium) and 2 Cl (chlorine).

 

Mass of Calcium

  • The molar mass of calcium is 40.08 g/mol
  • There is only one atom of Calcium in CaCl₂, so the number above is what we will use.

Mass of Chlorine

  • The molar mass of chlorine is 35.45 g/mol
  • There are two atoms of chlorine in CaCl₂, therefore we need to multiply the molar mass by 2.
  • 35.45 * 2= 70.9 g/mol

Molar Mass of CaCl₂

  • Now, to find the molar mass, add the molar mass of 1 calcium and 2 chlorine.
  • 40.08 g/mol + 70.9 g/mol =110.98 g/mol

The molar mass of CaCl₂ is <u>110.98 grams per mole. </u>

A single serving bag of snack chips contains 65.0 Cal. Assuming that all of the energy from eating these chips goes toward keepi
AveGali [126]

Answer:

= 62.1 hours

Explanation:

Energy provide by the serving is 65 cal

= 65 cal  × 4.184 Kj = 271.96 kJ

271.96 KJ = 271960 J

Energy required for 1minute of energy

= 73 x 1

= 73 J/min

So, 271960 joules will be required for 271960 heart beat

Minutes = 271960 / 73

= 3593.94 minutes  

Time in hours = 3725.429 / 60

= 62.1 hours
