A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 0.225times as fast as gas. Write the chemical formula of the gas.
Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must apply Graham's law of diffusion. This law states that "the rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass at constant temperature and pressure".
Mathematically;

r₁ is the rate of diffusion of gas 1
r₂ is the rate of diffusion of gas 2
m₁ is the molar mass of gas 1
m₂ is the molar mass of gas 2
let gas 2 be the given H₂;
molar mass of H₂ = 2 x 1 = 2gmol⁻¹
rate of diffusion is 0.225;
i .e r1/r2 = 0.225
0.225 = √2 / √ m₁
0.225 = 1.414 / √ m₁
√ m₁ = 6.3
m₁ = 6.3² = 39.5g/mol
The gas is likely Argon since argon has similar molecular mass
Answer:
Atoms get rearranged and make up different molecules. No atoms are created nor destroyed.
Explanation:
One mole (abbreviated mol) is equal to 6.022×1023 molecular entities (Avogadro's number), and each element has a different molar mass depending on the weight of 6.022×1023 of its atoms (1 mole). The molar mass of any element can be determined by finding the atomic mass of the element on the periodic table.
The 2nd ionization energy is removing a 2nd electron from that resulting cation:
<span>Li+ --> Li2+ + 1e- </span>
K₃PO₄ → 3K⁺ (aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq)
One mole of PO₄³⁻ ion gets dissociated from one mole of K₃PO₄
As per the definition of Avogadro's number, 1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ ions
One mole of PO₄³⁻ ions x (6.022 x 10²³ ions/ 1 mole of PO₄³⁻ ions )
= 6.022 x 10²³ ions
Therefore , there are 6.022 x 10²³ PO₄³⁻ ions in a mole of K₃PO₄.
