Explanation:

DIFFERENCE:

The difference between element and compound is that the element is the substance which is made of same type of the atoms, whereas the compound is made of different elements which are combined in definite proportions.

SIMILARITY:

Elements and Compounds both contains atoms. They both have bonds linking atoms together. They both are pure substances and homogeneous in composition.

Examples of elements include copper, hydrogen, oxygen, etc.

Examples of compounds include water, salt NaCl, etc.

If 5 mol of oxygen gas effuses through an opening in 10 seconds, how long will it take for the same amount of hydrogen gas to ef

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Recall the law of effusion:

$\displaystyle \frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{ \frac{\mathcal{M}_2}{\mathcal{M}_1} }$

Because 5 mol of oxygen was effused in 10 seconds, the rate is 0.5 mol/s.

Let the rate of oxygen be r₁ and the rate of hydrogen be r₂.

The molecular weight of oxygen gas is 32.00 g/mol and the molecular weight of hydrogen gas is 2.02 g/mol.

Substitute and solve for r₂:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{(0.5\text{ mol/s})}{r_2} & = \sqrt{\frac{(2.02\text{ g/mol})}{(32.00\text{ g/mol})}} \\ \\ r_2 & = \frac{0.5\text{ mol/s}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(2.02\text{ g/mol})}{(32.00\text{ g/mol})}}} \\ \\ & = 2.0\text{ mol/s}\end{aligned}$

Because there are 5 moles of hydrogen gas:

$\displaystyle 5.0\text{ mol} \cdot \frac{1\text{ s}}{2.0\text{ mol}} = 2.5\text{ s}$

In conclusion, it will take about 2.5 seconds for the hydrogen gas to effuse.

Check: Because hydrogen gas is lighter than oxygen gas, we expect that hydrogen gas will effuse quicker than oxygen gas.

Determine the pH of a 5x10^-4 M solution of Ca(OH)2

miss Akunina [59]

Ca(OH)₂ ==> Ca²⁺ + 2 OH-

Ca(OH)₂ is strong Bases

Therefore, the [OH-] equals 5 x 10⁻⁴ M. For every Ca(OH)₂ you produce 2 OH⁻.

pOH = - log[ OH⁻]

pOH = - log [ 5 x 10⁻⁴ ]

pOH = 3.30

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 3.30 = 14

pH = 14 - 3.30

pH = 10.7

hope this helps!
