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;

                 \frac{r_{1} }{r_{2} }  = \frac{\sqrt{m_{2} } }{\sqrt{m_{1} } }

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

HCHO2 + NaOH = NaCHO2 + H2O complete ionic
Llana [10]

Answer:

HCHO₂(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⟶ Na⁺(aq) + CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)  

Explanation:

An ionic equation uses the symbols (aq) [aqueous] to indicate molecules and ions that are soluble in water, (s) [solid] to indicate insoluble solids, and (ℓ) to indicate substances (usually water) in the liquid state.

In this reaction, aqueous sodium hydroxide reacts with aqueous formic acid to form sodium formate and water.

1. Molecular equation

HCHO₂(aq) + NaOH(aq) ⟶ NaCHO₂(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)  

2. Ionic equation

Sodium hydroxide and sodium formate are soluble ionic compounds, so we write them as hydrated ions.

HCHO₂(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⟶ Na⁺(aq) + CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

Engineers increase output in crop production by combining the strengths of
katrin [286]

Answer:

Cross-pollination

Explanation:

This technique is used to create new varieties, usually with stronger characteristics than the two original varieties. When the pollen of <u>one variety</u> is placed to a <u>different plant's stigma</u>, the resulting seeds create a new variety. This cross-pollination is used in plants of the same species.
