Answer:

Uh.. Um so the answer is that to find out the number of atoms multiply all the subscribts in the molecule by the coficcent. This will give you the number of atoms of each element.

The molar mass of an unknown gas was measured by an effusion experiment. It was found that it took 60 s for the gas to effuse, w

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to solve this problem using Graham's law that says: Rates of effusion are inversely dependent on the square of the mass of each gas. That is:

$\frac{r_1}{r_2} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{M_1} }$

If rate of effusion of nitrogen is Xdistance / 48s and for the unknown gas is X distance / 60s and mass of nitrogen gas is 28g/mol (N₂):

$\frac{X/48s}{X/60s} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{28g/mol} }$

6,61 = √M₂

44g/mol = M₂

<em>The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol</em>

Difference between emprical and molecular formula

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The key difference between empirical and molecular formulas is that an empirical formula only gives the simplest ratio of atom whereas a molecular formula gives the exact number of each atom in a molecule.

Wet snow is best for snow man building<br>

fredd [130]

Answer:

<h2>Hope my answer helps</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Moist to wet snow is the ideal moisture content needed to build the best snowman. If the snow is too dry, it is comparable to loose powder and in turn, the snow won't stick together. On the other hand, if the snow has too much moisture and is slushy, it can't form into a solid.</h2>

Read the given expression. X = number of protons − number of core electrons Which of the following explains the identity of X an

shepuryov [24]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that:

X = number of protons − number of core electrons

Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.

The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

$Z^*=Z-\sigma$

where,

$Z^*$ = effective nuclear charge

Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons

$\sigma$ = Screening constant

The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.

Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

Assuming that the solubility of radon in water with 1 atm pressure of the gas over the water at 30 ∘C is 7.27×10−3M, what is the

Daniel [21]

Answer:

K = 137.55 atm/M.

Explanation:

The relationship between gas pressure and the concentration of dissolved gas is given by Henry’s law:

where P is the partial pressure of the gaseous solute above the solution (P = 1.0 atm).

k is a constant (Henry’s constant).

C is the concentration of the dissolved gas (C = 7.27 x 10⁻³ M).

∴ K = P/C = (1.0 atm)/(7.27 x 10⁻³ M) = 137.55 atm/M.
