3: Consider molecules of hydrogen (tiny ones) and oxygen (bigger ones) in a gas mixture. If they have the same average kinetic e

Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.

Explanation:

The formula for average speed is  :

\mu_{av}={\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M}}}

R = gas constant  

T = temperature  

M = Molecular Mass

Now putting all the values:

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{H_2}}}/{\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{O_2}}}

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{2}}

\frac{\nu_{av}_{H_2}}{\nu_{av}_{O_2}}=8

Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed

5. What are the relative rates of diffusion for methane, CH, and oxygen, O2? If O2 la travels 1.00 m in a certain amount of time
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. Mathematically written as:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

We are given:

Molar mass of methane gas, m = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen gas,m' = 32 g/mol

By taking their ratio, we get:

\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{m'}{m}}

\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{16}}=1.4142

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

If oxygen gas travels 1 meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of oxygen =d_{O_2}=\frac{1 m}{t}

If methane gas travels travels in y meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of methane=d_{CH_4}=\frac{y }{t}

\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\frac{\frac{y }{t}}{\frac{1 m}{t}}=1.4142

y = 1.4142 m

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

What is the difference between a mixture and compound
bonufazy [111]
A compound is made up of a single type of molecule. A mixture, on the other hand, is made up of different substances that can be distinguished from one another.
As an example:
Water (pure water) is a compound since it's only made up of water molecules
Seawater is a mixture since it is made up of water molecules and soluble salts

An extra-strength aspirin contains 0.500 g of aspirin. how many grains is this? (1grain=64.8mg)
Snowcat [4.5K]

By unit conversion, the aspirin contains 7.72 grains.

We need to know about unit conversion to solve this problem. The unit conversion can be used to convert a unit to another unit. It can be defined as

a = xb

where a is unit a, b is unit b and x is the constant of conversion.

From the question above, we know that

m = 0.5 gram

unit conversion

(1 grain = 64.8 mg)

Convert the unit conversion to 1 mg

1 grain = 64.8 mg

1/64.8 grain = 64.8/64.8 mg

1 mg = 1/64.8 grain

Convert the aspirin mass to grain

m = 0.500 g

m = 0.5 x 10³ mg

m = 0.5 x 10³ x 1/64.8 grain

m = 7.72 grain
