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

Which ion would represent the ion of an element from Group 2A?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

E²⁺

Explanation:

The group two contain alkaline earth metals.

There are six elements in group 2A.

Beryllium, Magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.

All members have two valance electrons.

They lose two valance electrons to complete the octet.

When they lose the two valance electrons they form cation X²⁺.

They react with halogens and form salt such as

MgCl₂, CaCl₂ etc.

Mg²⁺  Cl²⁻₂

The oxidation state of halogens are -1, while the elements of group two A shows +2 that's why two atoms of halogen are combine with one atom of alkaline earth metals and make the compound overall neutral.

All the alkaline earth metals have similar properties.

What is the reaction of guanine and adenine
PtichkaEL [24]

Complementary Base Pairing. Specific pairs can only go together, so when guanine and adenine pair up, its Complementry Base Pairing :)

Hope this helps! Please correct me if im wrong :)
