Answer:

NO.

Explanation:

The rate of diffusion of gases is inversely proportional to the square root of its density as explained by Graham's law of diffusion i.e

Rate (R) & 1/√(density (d))

R & 1/√d

But the density of a gas is proportional to the molar mass (M) of the gas.

Thus, the above equation can written as:

R & 1/√d

R & 1/√M

This implies that rate is inversely proportional to the molar mass of a gas i.e the lighter the gas, the faster the rate and the heavier the gas, the slower the rate of diffusion.

Now, to obtain the answer to the question, let us determine the molar mass of each gas.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Kr = 84 g/mol

Molar mass of NO = 14 + 16 = 30 g/mol

Molar mass of Ar = 40 g/mol

Molar mass of N2O = (14x2) + 16 = 44 g/mol

Summary

Gas >>>>>>> Molar mass

Kr >>>>>>>>> 84 g/mol

NO >>>>>>>> 30 g/mol

Ar >>>>>>>>> 40 g/mol

N2O >>>>>>> 44 g/mol

From the above table, we can see the lightest gas is NO.

Therefore, NO will escape through the hole in the balloon at the highest rate.

The following two compounds are constitutional isomers. Identify which of these is expected to be more acidic, and explain your

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

c. Compound 2 is more acidic because its conjugate base is more resonance stabilized

Explanation:

You haven't told us what the compounds are, so let's assume that the formula of Compound 1 is HCOCH₂OH and that of Compound 2 is CH₃COOH.

The conjugate base of 2 is CH₃COO⁻. It has two important resonance contributors, and the negative charge is evenly distributed between the two oxygen atoms.

CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺

The stabilization of the conjugate base pulls the position of equilibrium to the right, so the compound is more acidic than 1.

How many are molecules ( or formula) in each sample?

andre [41]

Answer:

$4.010 \times 10^{25} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { present in } 55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$
$16.86 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4} \text { present in } 459 \mathrm{kg}\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

Explanation:

Number of molecules for $55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$

$\text { Firstly molar mass is calculated of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}:$

Atomic mass of Na + H + C + 3(O) = 22.99 + 1.008 + 12.01 + 3 × 16.00 = 84.00 g/mol

$\text { Number of molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { in } 55.93 \text { kg are as follows: }$

$55.93 \times\left(10^{3} \mathrm{gm}\right) \times \frac{1 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}}{84.00 \mathrm{gm} \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}} \times\left(6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{molecules} \text { i.e Avogadro number }\right)$

$=4.010 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { present in } 55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$

Number of molecules for for $\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

$\text { Firstly molar mass is calculated of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

= Atomic mass of 3(Na) + P + 4(O)

= 3(22.99) + 30.97 + 4(16.00) = 163.94 g/mol

$459 \times\left(10^{3} \mathrm{gm}\right) \times \frac{1 \mathrm{mol} N a_{3} P O_{4}}{163.94 \mathrm{gm} N a_{3} P O_{4}} \times\left(6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{molecules} \text { i.e Avogadro number) } / 1 \mathrm{mol}\right.$

$=16.86 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4} \text { present in } 459 \mathrm{kg}\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

If uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron, it will temporarily become

stealth61 [152]

All atoms consist of a nucleus with protons and neutrons that is surrounded by a sea of electrons. If Uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron then the atom's atomic number will remain the same but its mass will increase by 1 unit. Thus, it will temporarily become Uranium-236.

What is the simplest formula of a compound if a sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z? chemP

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

XY₂Z₄

2.35 mol Z

Explanation:

A sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z. We can find the simplest formula (empirical formula) by dividing all the numbers of moles by the smallest one.

X: 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y: 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z: 0.884/0.221 = 4

The simplest formula is XY₂Z₄.

The molar ratio of X to Z is 1:4. The moles of Z in a sample that contained 0.588 moles of X is:

0.588 mol X × (4 mol Z/1 mol X) = 2.35 mol Z
