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

In IR spectroscopy, we normally talk about "frequencies" when in reality we are referring to wavenumbers. What is the mathematic
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

(b) Wavenumber and wavelength

The wavenumber is the distance over which a cycle repeats, that is, it is the number of waves in a unit distance.

\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

Thus, if λ = 3 µm,

\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{3 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}}= 3.3 \times 10^{5}\text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3300 cm}^{-1}

(a) Wavenumber and frequency

Since

λ = c/f and 1/λ = f/c

the relation between wavenumber and frequency is

\bar \nu = \mathbf{\dfrac{f}{c}}

Thus, if f = 90 THz

\bar \nu = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{12} \text{ s}^{-1}}{3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}= 3 \times 10^{5} \text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3000 cm}^{-1}

(c) Units

(i) Frequency

The units are s⁻¹ or Hz.

(ii) Wavelength

The SI base unit is metres, but infrared wavelengths are usually measured in micrometres (roughly 2.5 µm to 20 µm).

(iii) Wavenumber

The SI base unit is m⁻¹, but infrared wavenumbers are usually measured in cm⁻¹ (roughly 4000 cm⁻¹ to 500 cm⁻¹).

How many molecules (not moles) of NH3 are produced from 5.25x10^-4 g of H2?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

not 100% but i think its 1.57x10^20

Explanation:

5.25x10^-4g / 2.016g

2.60x10^-4 x 6.022x10^23= 1.56x10^20 molecules

scZoUnD [109]
44g \ CO_{2} \ \ \ \rightarrow \ \ 12g \ C\\
19,2g \ CO_{2} \rightarrow \ \ \ x\\\\
x=\frac{19,2g*12g}{44g}\approx5,24g \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ n=\frac{5,24g}{12\frac{g}{mol}}\approx0,44mol\\\\\\
18g \ H_{2}O \ \ \ \rightarrow \ \ \ 2g \ H\\
5,89g \ H_{2}O \ \rightarrow \ \ y\\\\
y=\frac{5,89g*2g}{18g}\approx0,65g \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ n=\frac{0,65g}{1\frac{g}{mol}}=0,65mol\\\\\\
