Calculate the ratio of effusion rates for helium and argon.

Chemistry
1 answer:
lys-0071 [83]3 years ago
4 0

Answer : The ratio of effusion rates for helium and argon is 3.2 : 1

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of Helium = 4 g/mole

Molar mass of Argon = 40 g/mole

Rate of effusion : It is defined as the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas.

Formula used :

\text{Rate of effusion}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}

where, M is the molar mass.

\frac{Rate_{He}}{Rate_{Ar}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{Ar}}{M_{He}}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

\frac{Rate_{He}}{Rate_{Ar}}=\sqrt{\frac{40}{4}}=\frac{3.2}{1}

Therefore, the ratio of effusion rates for helium and argon is 3.2 : 1

How does the concentration of the substrate in an enzyme-controlled chemical reaction change over time?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the concentration. The rate of a chemical reaction increases as the substrate concentration increases and thus, concentration of the substrate in an enzyme-controlled chemical reaction increases with time.

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the concentration.

The reaction rate increases with increasing substrate concentration, but levels off at a much lower rate. By increasing the enzyme concentration, the maximum reaction rate greatly increases.

Generally, the rate of a chemical reaction increases as the substrate concentration increases, and thus, concentration of the substrate in an enzyme-controlled chemical reaction increases with time.

What is the pressure in a gas container that is connected to an open-end U-tube manometer if the pressure of the atmosphere is 7
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

636 mm Hg

Explanation:

The pressure in the gas container is equal to the atmospheric pressure minus the height of mercury:

Atmospheric pressure = 722 torr = 722 mm Hg

Height = 8.60 cm = 86 mm Hg

Pressure = 722 - 86 = 636 mm Hg

So none of the given options is correct, the correct answer is 636 mm Hg.

While boiling potatoes for dinner in salted water, the pot boils over and you notice that the flame on your gas burner turns to
wel

Answer:

This observation can be explained under the following reasons:

  1. High sodium content
  2. Lowered heat temperature
  3. Organic burn

Explanation:

High sodium content from the potato fluid causes the flame to turn yellow, as indicative of the presence of sodium (flame test).

The colour change could also be attributed to the drastic lowering of the burner heat. Finally, pure organics like wood and fats burn red, a would be the case with fluids from the boiled potatoes.

I hope this explanation was helpful.
