If a gas is 16 times as heavy as hydrogen which will diffuse faster and by what ratio

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

1. Hydrogen will diffuse faster.

2. The ratio of diffusion of hydrogen gas to that of the unknown gas is 4 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of diffusion of hydrogen gas, H2 be R1

Let the molar mass of H2 be M1

Let the rate of diffusion of the unknown gas be R2.

Let the molar mass of the unknown gas be M2.

Molar mass of H2 (M1) = 2x1 =2g/mol

Molar mass of unknown gas (M2) = 16 times that of H2

= 16 x 2 = 32g/mol

1. Determination of the gas that will diffuse faster. This is illustrated below:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/2)

R1/R2 = √16

R1/R2 = 4

Cross multiply

R1 = 4R2

From the above calculations, we can see that the rate of diffusion H2 (R1) is four times the rate of diffusion of the unknown gas (R2).

Therefore, hydrogen will diffuse faster.

2. Again, from the calculations made above, the ratio of diffusion of hydrogen (R1) to that of the unknown gas (R2) is given by;

R1/R2 = 4

Therefore, the ratio of diffusion of hydrogen (R1) to that of the unknown gas (R2) is:

4 : 1

When the atmosphere has too much carbon dioxide in it, the oceans absorb some of it to achieve a new balance. This is an example

Nana76 [90]

Answer: sphere interaction

The ocean absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in order to maintain balance is an example of sphere interaction. The different spheres like lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere interact with one another naturally to achieve equilibrium in the environment.

If the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL, what is the mass of 25.4 cm3 of<br> mercury?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

345.44 g or 0.34544 kg

Explanation:

Applying

D = m/V...................... Equation 1

Where D = Density of mercury, m = mass of mercury, V = Volume of mercury.

make m the subject of the equation

m = D×V................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: D = 13.6 g/mL = 13.6 g/cm³, V = 25.4 cm³

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = 13.6×25.4

m = 345.44 g

m = 0.34544 kg

Hence the mass of mercury is 345.44 g or 0.34544 kg

When water freezes it's density gets lower the change in density is different than that of most substances most substances get d

icang [17]

When water is in liquid form its molecules are free to move around.
Water molecules are packed reasonably close together. However when water freezes its molecules take up a hexagonal lattice (repeating structure) which has space in the middle of it.

This is largely due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules (complicated).

As a result water molecules in ice aren't packed as closely together as they are in liquid water so the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.

Hope that helps. I doubt you need to know about hydrogen bonding.
