The rate of effusion of oxygen to an unknown gas is 0.935. what is the other gas?

Chemistry

Answer:

N2

Explanation:

Rate of effusion is defined by Graham's Law:  

(Rate 1/Rate 2) = (sqrt (M2)/ sqrt (M1))

(Where M is the molar mass of each substance. )

Molar Mass of oxygen, O2, is 32 (M1).

Rate of effusion of O2 to an unknown gas is .935(Rate 1).  

Rate 2 is unknown so put 1.

Solve for x (M2).

.935/1 = sqrt x/ sqrt32

.935 x sqrt 32 = sqrt x

5.29 = sq rt x

5.29^2 = 27.975 = 28  

N2 has a molar mass of 28 so it is the correct gas.

Based on table N of the reference tables what is the number of hours required for 42k (potassium -42) to undergo three half-life
skelet666 [1.2K]

The number of hours required : 37.2 hours

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

⁴²K (potassium -42)

Required

The number of hours

Solution

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours

For three half-life periods :

\tt 3\times 12.4=37.2~hours

Matt has found a book on various marine zones. A picture illustrates a zone that shows diffused penetration of sunlight in water
Ugo [173]

Answer:

the mesopelagic, dysphotic, or twilight zone

Explanation:

Marine zones are the divisions of the ocean. The ocean is divided into two basic parts; the pelagic or open ocean, and the benthic or sea floor.

The pelagic zone is further divided into five broad zones according to how far down sunlight penetrates and they are:

1) the epipelagic, euphotic, or sunlit zone: the top layer of the ocean where enough sunlight penetrates for plants to carry on photosynthesis.

2) the mesopelagic, dysphotic, or twilight zone: a dim zone where some light penetrates, but not enough for plants to grow.

3) the bathypelagic, aphotic, or midnight zone: the deep ocean layer where no light penetrates.

4) the abyssal zone: the pitch-black bottom layer of the ocean; the water here is almost freezing and its pressure is immense.

5) the hadal zone: the waters found in the ocean's deepest trenches.
