Answer:

28.93 g/mol

Explanation:

This is an extension of Graham's Law of Effusion where \frac{R1}{R2} = \sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}

We're only talking about molar mass and time (t) here so we'll just concentrate on \sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}. Notice how the molar mass and time are on the same position, recall effusion is when gas escapes from a container through a small hole. The time it takes it to leave depends on the molar mass. If the gas is heavy, like Xe, it would take a longer time (4.83 minutes). If it was light it would leave in less time, that gives us somewhat an idea what our element could be, we know that it's atleast an element before Xenon.

Let's plug everything in and solve for M2. I chose M2 to be the unknown here because it's easier to have it basically as a whole number already.

\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } = \frac{2.29}{4.83}

The square root is easier to deal with if you take it out in the first step, so let's remove it by squaring each side by 2, the opposite of square root essentially.

(\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } )^2= (\frac{2.29}{4.83})^2

{\frac{M2}{131} } = (0.47)^2

{\frac{M2}{131} } = 0.22

M2= 0.22 x 131

M2= 28.93 g/mol

Predict whether each of the following substances would be more soluble in water (polar solvent) or in a hydrocarbon such as hept
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Vegetable oil will dissolve in heptane

Isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water

Potassium Bromide will dissolve in water

Explanation:

In chemistry, like dissolves like. This implies that polar substances will dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar substances will dissolve in nonpolar solvents. This is so because, dissolution of a solute in a solvent involves adequate intermolecular interaction between solute and solvent which isn't possible between a polar and a nonpolar substance.

How many atoms are centered on the (100) plane for the fcc crystal structure?
Setler [38]

Here, we have to get the number of atoms present in the 100 plane of the FCC crystal lattice.

There will be 2 atoms in 100 plane of FCC crystal lattice.

In the face centered crystal (FCC) lattice there are atoms at each corner of the cube and each are shared by 4 another atoms. And an atom is present at the face of the crystal.

For the 100 plane of the Miller indices the intercepts are a, ∞, ∞ or 2a, ∞, ∞.

Thus, for the 4 atoms of the corner at the cube shared by 4 other atoms will contribute, 4 × \frac{1}{4} = 1 and the un-shared atoms at the face will contribute another 1, which make the total atom 1 + 1 = 2.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of copper (Cu) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) is shown below.
lesantik [10]
Remark
The balance numbers in front of Ag and AgNO3 are both 2. That number is in moles.

Rule: if the moles are the same in the equation, then whatever you are given for one, will be the same for the other. So you have 0.854 moles of Ag. You will also have 0.854 moles of AgNO3 

Answer: 0.854 <<<<<
