If a gas is 16 times as heavy as hydrogen which will diffuse faster and by what ratio​

7 0

Answer:

1. Hydrogen will diffuse faster.

2. The ratio of diffusion of hydrogen gas to that of the unknown gas is 4 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of diffusion of hydrogen gas, H2 be R1

Let the molar mass of H2 be M1

Let the rate of diffusion of the unknown gas be R2.

Let the molar mass of the unknown gas be M2.

Molar mass of H2 (M1) = 2x1 =2g/mol

Molar mass of unknown gas (M2) = 16 times that of H2

= 16 x 2 = 32g/mol

1. Determination of the gas that will diffuse faster. This is illustrated below:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/2)

R1/R2 = √16

R1/R2 = 4

Cross multiply

R1 = 4R2

From the above calculations, we can see that the rate of diffusion H2 (R1) is four times the rate of diffusion of the unknown gas (R2).

Therefore, hydrogen will diffuse faster.

2. Again, from the calculations made above, the ratio of diffusion of hydrogen (R1) to that of the unknown gas (R2) is given by;

R1/R2 = 4

Therefore, the ratio of diffusion of hydrogen (R1) to that of the unknown gas (R2) is:

4 : 1

If Lithium and Nitrogen created a bond what would the ratios be?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

There would be three Lithium atoms per one Nitrogen atom.

3:1

Li3N (Lithium Nitride)

Explanation:

Group 15 elements usually have 5 valence electrons, and every atom wants to have a full valence shell of valence electrons. So, nitrogen can get three electrons from each Lithium atom in order to get a full octet.

Saponification is a chemical reaction _____. A. due to the presence of a strong organic acid. B. that results in an alcohol and
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

that results in an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Explanation:

Saponification is a chemical reaction process of alkaline hydrolysis of esters(R'COOR group) by which soap is obtained.

For Example, when a base such as sodium hydroxide [NaOH]  is used to hydrolyze an ester, the products are a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. Because soaps are prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.

In a saponification reaction, alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils with sodium hydroxide  yields propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salts of the component fatty acids.

i.e  Fat or oil + caustic alkali ⇒ Soap + propane-1,2,3-triol

As a specific example, ethyl acetate and NaOH react to form sodium acetate and ethanol:

The reaction goes to completion in the image below:

Using the following thermochemical equation, determine the amount of heat produced per kg of CO2 formed during the combustion of
Arisa [49]

Answer:  12033 kJ of heat produced per kg of CO_2 formed during the combustion of benzene

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for combustion of benzene is :

2C_6H_6(l)+15O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)  \Delta H°rxn = -6278 kJ

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}=\frac{1000g}{44g/mol}=23mol      (1kg=1000g)

According to stoichiometry :

12 moles of CO_2 on combustion produce heat = 6278 kJ

Thus 23 mole of CO_2 on combustion produce heat =\frac{6278}{12}\times 23=12033kJ

Thus 12033 kJ of heat produced per kg of CO_2 formed during the combustion of benzene
