Answer:

CO2

Explanation:

(a) CO2; according to Avogadro's Hypothesis, they all contain the same number of particles, therefore, the heaviest molecule, CO2 (molar mass = 44), will have the greatest mass. (b) all the same; at the same temperature all gases have the same kinetic energy.

A) The average molecular speed in a sample of Ar gas at a certain temperature is 391 m/s. The average molecular speed in a sampl

diamong [38]

Answer:

For A: The average molecular speed of Ne gas is 553 m/s at the same temperature.

For B: The rate of effusion of $SO_2$ gas is $1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr$

Explanation:

For A:

The average molecular speed of the gas is calculated by using the formula:

$V_{gas}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}}$

$V_{gas}\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}$

where, M is the molar mass of gas

Forming an equation for the two gases:

$\frac{V_{Ar}}{V_{Ne}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{Ne}}{M_{Ar}}}$ .....(1)

Given values:

$V_{Ar}=391m/s\\M_{Ar}=40g/mol\\M_{Ne}=20g/mol$

Plugging values in equation 1:

$\frac{391m/s}{V_{Ne}}=\sqrt{\frac{20}{40}}\\\\V_{Ne}=391\times \sqrt{2}=553m/s$

Hence, the average molecular speed of Ne gas is 553 m/s at the same temperature.

For B:

Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation for this follows:

$Rate\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}$

Where, M is the molar mass of the gas

Forming an equation for the two gases:

$\frac{Rate_{SO_2}}{Rate_{Xe}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{Xe}}{M_{SO_2}}}$ .....(2)

Given values:

$Rate_{Xe}=7.03\times 10^{-4}mol/hr\\M_{Xe}=131g/mol\\M_{SO_2}=64g/mol$

Plugging values in equation 2:

$\frac{Rate_{SO_2}}{7.03\times 10^{-4}}=\sqrt{\frac{131}{64}}\\\\Rate_{SO_2}=7.03\times 10^{-4}\times \sqrt{\frac{131}{64}}\\\\Rate_{SO_2}=1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr$

Hence, the rate of effusion of $SO_2$ gas is $1.006\times 10^{-3}mol/hr$

Which statement describes why sodium reacts more vigorously than magnesium to hydrochloric acid? Refer to the periodic table. Ci

lions [1.4K]

Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.

<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>

Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.

Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.

Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.

Tju [1.3M]

One of the oxygen atoms in the anion O3− is hypervalent and the formal charge on this oxygen atom is -1.

Ozone is a triatomic molecule. The anion formed from ozone is called the ozonide anion. This anion is also triatomic. The resonance structures of the ozonide anion are shown in the image attached to this answer.

We can see that one of the oxygen atoms in the ozonide ion is hypervalent because it contains ten instead of eight electrons. This hypervalent oxygen atom has a formal charge of -1 while the two other oxygen atoms has a formal charge of zero.
