Answer:

CH₄

Explanation:

According to Graham's law, the rate of effusion of a gas (r) is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (M).

Let's consider the following gases and their molar masses.

A) NH₃ 17.03 g/mol

B) CH₄ 16.04 g/mol

C) Ar 39.95 g/mol

D) HBr 80.91 g/mol

E) HCl 36.46 g/mol

Of these gases, CH₄ will have the greatest rate of effusion at a given temperature because it has the lowest molar mass.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

First, we need to be aware that our blood is also a form of liquid.
So, when the astronaut is placed in within the environment that has decreased pressure, the temperature inside the astronaut's body will definitely increase but it won't cause the boiling effect like in water (it won't even break the arteries). But it could endanger the astronaut's life because it makes the blood unable to circulate properly due to unstable blood pressure

According to naming rules, the types of compound that use prefixes in their names are ________.

arlik [135]

Answer:

Covalent compounds.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when forming chemical bonds in order to form compounds, we say that if electrons are shared, covalent compounds are to be formed and they usually have subscripts that need prefixes to be named, for instance phosphorous pentachloride (PCl5), dichlorine heptoxide (Cl2O7), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and many others.

Select all statements that are correct:____

topjm [15]

Answer:

A, C and D are correct.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the vapor pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent as stated by the Raoult's law:

$P_{vap}^{solution}=x_{solvent}P_{solvent}$

Since the solute is not volatile, the mole fraction of the solute is not taken into account for vapor pressure of the solution, therefore A is correct whereas B is incorrect.

Moreover, since the higher the vapor pressure, the weaker the intermolecular forces due to the fact that less more molecules are like to change from liquid to vapor and therefore more energy is required for such change, we can evidence that both C and D are correct.

Best regards.
