A sample of Xe gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.83 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number o

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

Sally and Sue took a canoe trip down the Mississippi River. Their average speed for the trip south was 20 miles/hour. 20 miles/h
Anna35 [415]

C

Speed is the time rate at which Sue covers the distance. It is derived by dividing the total distance covered by the total time taken to cover the distance . Usually SI unit for speed is km/h or mph or m/s.

Explanation:

Speed is also referred to as velocity- so the two are synonymous.

Acceleration is the rate at which speed is increasing. It is usually given by SI unit m/s². The opposite of acceleration is deceleration which is the rate at which speed is decreasing.

Distance is the measurement, in meters of kilometers or miles or yards..etc, that has been covered from one point to another.

The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.
Nitella [24]

1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.

2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.
