Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Rate of diffusion is defined as the total movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration.
The interaction between medium and the material is responsible for the rate of diffusion of a material or substance.
A small concentration gradient means small difference in the number of molecules taking part in a reaction. So, when there no large difference between the concentration then there won't be much difference in the rate of diffusion of a material.
Whereas a higher concentration of molecules will lead to more number of collisions due to which frequency of molecules increases. Therefore, rate of diffusion will also increase.
Small molecule size will also lead to increases in rate of diffusion. This is because according to Graham's law rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to molar mass of an element. Hence, smaller size molecule will have smaller mass. As a result, rate of diffusion will be more.
High temperature means more kinetic energy of molecules due to which more number of collisions will be there. Hence, rate of diffusion will also increase.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options a small concentration gradient is least likely to increase the rate of diffusion.
Answer:
he predicted the properties from known elements above and belws the unknown in the same group
Explanation:
What allowed Mendeleev to make predictions of undiscovered elements
He realized that an element on this table with one known element above it and one known element below it had to have properties between the two known elements
How did Mendeleev predict gallium and germanium?
Based on gaps in the periodic table Mendeleev deduced that in these gaps belonged elements yet to be discovered. Based on other elements below and above in the same group he predicted the existence of eka-aluminum, eka-boron, and eka-silicon, later to be named gallium (Ga), scandium (Sc), and germanium (Ge).
Answer:
x = 33.52 amu
Explanation:
It is given that,
Isotope A has a mass of 34 amu and an abundance of 52%, isotope B has a mass of 33 amu and an abundance of 48%.
Let x is the average atomic mass of this element. It can be calculated as follows :
So, the average atomic mass of this element is 33.52 amu.
The answer is A, biogeochemical cycles.
