Answer:

In gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.

Gas molecules are far apart from each other which indicates spreading

Answer:

8.354 nanometers

Explanation:

To treat a diffusive process in function of time and distance we need to solve 2nd Ficks Law. This a partial differential equation, with certain condition the solution looks like this:

$\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=erf(x/2\sqrt{D*t})$

Where Cs is the concentration in the surface of the solid

Cx is the concentration at certain deep X

Co is the initial concentration of solute in the solid

and erf is the error function

Then we solve right side,

$\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=\frac{1018atoms/cm3-1016atoms/cm3}{1018atoms/cm3}=0.001964$

And we need to look up the inverse error function of 0.001964 resulting in: 0.00174055

Then we solve for x:

$x=0.00174055*2*\sqrt{D*t} =0.00174055*2*\sqrt{2*10^{-12}cm^{2}/s*8h*3600s/h}=8.35464*10^{-7}cm$

A substance that can be broken down into simpler subtend only by a chemical change is aa. homogenous mixtureb. heterogeneous mix

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

d. compound

Explanation:

Mixture : It is defined as the substance that is made by the combination of two or more different components which are physically combined.

Homogeneous mixture are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are uniformly mixed. Heterogeneous mixture are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are not uniformly mixed.

Compound : It is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass and are chemically bonded.

Element : It is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.

As discussed above, The different elements in the compounds are chemically bonded and hence, it is the substance which can be broken down into the simpler units when it subtend only by the chemical change.

In an experiment, 3.25 g of NH3 are allowed to react with 3.50 g of O2. 4NH3 + 5O2 > 4NO + 6H2O a. Which reactant is the limi

cluponka [151]

Answer:

2.61 g of NO will be formed

The limiting reagent is the O₂

Explanation:

The reaction is:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

We convert the mass of the reactants to moles:

3.25g / 17 g/mol = 0.191 moles of NH₃

3.50g / 32 g/mol =0.109 moles of O₂

Let's determine the limiting reactant by stoichiometry:

4 moles of ammonia react with 5 moles of oxygen

Then, 0.191 moles of ammonia will react with (0.191 . 5) / 4 = 0.238 moles of oxygen. We only have 0.109 moles of O₂ and we need 0.238, so as the oxygen is not enough, this is the limiting reagent

Ratio with NO is 5:4

5 moles of oxygen produce 4 moles of NO

0.109 moles will produce (0.109 . 4)/ 5 = 0.0872 moles of NO

We convert the moles to mass, to get the answer

0.0872 mol . 30g / 1 mol = 2.61 g
