The answer is 2. Beta particle is high energy electrons which is the same mass as positron with little mass. Alpha particle consists of 2 neutrons and 2 protons. Neutrons and protons have almost same mass which is much larger than electrons.
You know oxygen is the limiting reactant (since it says there is excess hydrogen). So, use stoichiometry based on the given number of oxygen moles:
The chemical reaction equation for this is
XeF6 + 3H2 ---> Xe + 6HF
Assuming gas behaves ideally, we use the ideal gas formula to solve for number of moles H2 with T = 318.15K (45C), P = 6.46 atm, V = 0.579L. Then we use the gas constant R = 0.08206 L atm K-1 mol-1.
we get n = 0.1433 moles H2
to get the mass of XeF6,
we divide 0.1433 moles H2 by 3 since 1 mole XeF6 needs 3 moles H2 to react then multiply by the molecular weight of XeF6 which is 245.28 g/mole XeF6.
0.1433 moles H2 x

x

= 11.71 g XeF6
Therefore, 11.71 g of XeF6 is needed to completely react with 0.579 L of Hydrogen gas at 45 degrees Celcius and 6.46 atm.
It is a physical separation.
Only chemical separation involves the changing of substances and their bondings, which usually involves the use of heat or electricity. Meanwhile, physical changes does not require breaking the bonds of substances or changing a substance to another, common examples of physical separations are such as filtration or distillation.
Since straining pasta from water does not require breaking the pasta or water to other substances, plus heat and electricity is not involved, therefore this is a type of physical separation.
Answer:
The time decreases steadily
Explanation:
We know that the rate of chemical reaction is defined as how fast or slow a chemical reaction proceeds. Hence a chemical reaction is said to proceed at a faster rate if it takes a lesser time for the reaction to get to completion.
There are certain factors that affects the rate of reaction, prominent among them is the concentration of reactants. Concentration simply means the amount of substance in a system.
Taking a look at the table given in the question, we will realize that the volume of HCl remained constant, the volume of thiosulphate increased steadily while the volume of water decreased steadily. Remember that concentration increases when less water is added to the system. This implies that the reactant concentration increases steadily. Hence, according to the collision theory, particles collide more frequently and the rate of reaction increases.
As the rate of reaction increases, it now takes a lesser time for the reaction to get to completion (indicated by the disappearance of the cross). Hence as we move down the table, it takes lesser and lesser time for the cross to disappear. This means that the column for time will decrease steadily.
