The molecular weight of unknown gas : 23.46 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

A vessel contains 10% of oxygen and 90% of an unknown gas.

diffuses rate of mixed gas = 86 s

diffuses rate of O₂ = 75 s

Required

the molecular weight of unknown gas (M)

Solution

The molecular weight of mixed gas :(M O₂=32 g/mol)

$\tt 0.1\times 32+0.9\times M=3.2+0.9M$

Graham's Law :

$\tt \dfrac{r_{O_2}}{r_{mixed~gas}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_{mixed}}{M_{O_2}} }\\\\\dfrac{75}{86}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.2+0.9M}{32} }\\\\0.76=\dfrac{3.2+0.9M}{32}\\\\24.32=3.2+0.9M\\\\21.12=0.9M\rightarrow M=23.46~g/mol$

At a constant temperature, 600 mL of an ideal gas is at a pressure of 760 mmHg . If the volume is decreased to 300 mL, the press

belka [17]

Answer:

1520mmHg

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) = 600 mL

P1 (initial pressure) = 760 mmHg

V2 (final volume) = 300 mL

P2 (final pressure) =.?

Using the Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the final pressure of the gas can easily be obtained as shown below:

P1V1 = P2V2

760 x 600 = P2 x 300

Divide both side by 300

P2 = (760 x 600) /300

P2 = 1520mmHg

The final pressure of the gas is 1520mmHg

Select the correct answer. which substance in this redox reaction is the oxidizing agent? cu 2agno3 → 2ag cu(no3)2 a. n b. agno3

lana66690 [7]

AgNO₃ will act as the oxidising agent.

<h3><u>For the given chemical equation:</u></h3>

Cu + 2AgNO₃ → 2Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂

Half reactions for the given chemical reaction:

<u>Reducing agent:</u>

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

Copper is a reducing agent because it is losing 2 electrons, which causes an oxidation process.

<u>Oxidising Agent</u>:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag

The silver ion undergoes a reduction process and is regarded as an oxidizing agent since it is acquiring one electron per atom.

Hence, AgNO₃ is considered as an oxidizing agent and therefore the correct answer is Option B.

<h3><u>Oxidising and Reducing agents</u></h3>

An oxidizing agent is a substance that reduces itself after oxidizing another material. It passes through a reduction process in which it obtains electrons and the substance's oxidation state is decreased.
A reducing agent is a chemical that oxidizes after reducing another material. It passes through an oxidation process in which it loses electrons and the substance's oxidation state increases.

10 m3 of carbon dioxide is originally at a temperature of 50 °C and pressure of 10 kPa. Determine the new density and volume of

Dimas [21]

Answer : The new density and new volume of carbon dioxide gas is 0.2281 g/L and $7.2m^3$ respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the new or final volume of carbon dioxide gas.

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 10 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 15 kPa

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = $10m^3$

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $50^oC=273+50=323K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $75^oC=273+75=348K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{10kPa\times 10m^3}{323K}=\frac{15kPa\times V_2}{348K}$

$V_2=7.2m^3$

The new volume of carbon dioxide gas is $7.2m^3$

Now we have to calculate the new density of carbon dioxide gas.

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{m}{M}RT\\\\P=\frac{m}{V}\frac{RT}{M}\\\\P=\rho \frac{RT}{M}\\\\\rho=\frac{PM}{RT}$

Formula for new density will be:

$\rho_2=\frac{P_2M}{RT_2}$

where,

$P_2$ = new pressure of gas = 15 kPa

$T_2$ = new temperature of gas = $75^oC=273+75=348K$

M = molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K

$\rho$ = new density

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\rho_2=\frac{(15kPa)\times (44g/mole)}{(8.314L.kPa/mol.K)\times (348K)}$

$\rho_2=0.2281g/L$

The new density of carbon dioxide gas is 0.2281 g/L

Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?

Lunna [17]

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.
