The molar mass of a, b and c at STP is calculated as below
At STP T is always= 273 Kelvin and ,P= 1.0 atm
by use of ideal gas equation that is PV =nRT
n(number of moles) = mass/molar mass therefore replace n in the ideal gas equation
that is Pv = (mass/molar mass)RT
multiply both side by molar mass and then divide by Pv to make molar mass the subject of the formula
that is molar mass = (mass x RT)/ PV
density is always = mass/volume
therefore by replacing mass/volume in the equation by density the equation
molar mass=( density xRT)/P where R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K
the molar mass for a
= (1.25 g/l x0.082 L.atm/mol.k x273k)/1.0atm = 28g/mol
the molar mass of b
=(2.86g/l x0.082L.atm/mol.k x273 k) /1.0 atm = 64 g/mol
the molar mass of c
=0.714g/l x0.082 L.atm/mol.K x273 K) 1.0atm= 16 g/mol
therefore the
gas a is nitrogen N2 since 14 x2= 28 g/mol
gas b =SO2 since 32 +(16x2)= 64g/mol
gas c = methaneCH4 since 12+(1x4) = 16 g/mol
Climate change or it could just be Climate,
Hopefully that helps ❤
Answer:
- <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>
Explanation:
Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.
Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:
- Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.
- Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.
Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:
- Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.
- Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.
So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:
- O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.
Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.
I would say it should be Einstein's famous equation of e=mc^2 which means energy =mass x the speed of light squared. With this equation Einstein showed that energy comes from a mass travelling at the speed of light squared which is a fundamental equation to explain physical phenomena.
