For this problem, we use Graham's Effusion Law to find out the rate of effusion of chlorine gas. The formula is as follows:
R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)
Let 1 be N₂ while 2 be Cl₂
255/R₂ = √(28/70.8)
Solving for R₂,
R₂ = 405.5 s
<em>Thus, it would take 405.5 s to effuse chlorine gas.</em>
Because subatomic particles ARE what make up atoms.
Velocity is said to be constant if its magnitude as well direction at any instant is remains the same. In D, if you draw a line parallel to y-axis at any time t, you can see that velocity is same. Hence, D is the correct graph.
The kinetic energy of gaseous molecules is greater than that of liquid molecules. Therefore, in gas, kinetic energy overcomes the force of attraction between molecules. In short, in gas phase, particles move at high speed and hence they have less force of attraction. In case of liquid phase, particles are close enough as a result there is much more force of attraction compared to gaseous molecules. In liquid state, kinetic energy cannot overcome force of attraction therefore, liquid molecules slow down.
Therefore, B is the correct answer.
Answser:
3.77 mg of K-40 decayed into Ar-40.
Data:
1) K-40, Ca-40, Ar-40: all three have the same atomic mass
2) 90%<span> of the potassium-40 will decay into calcium-40
3) 10% of the potassium-40 will decay into argon-40.</span>
4) K-40 inside the rock = 0.81 mg
5) Ar-40 trapped = 0.377 mg
Soltuion:
1) 0.377 mg of Ar-40 is the 10% of the mass of the K-40 that decayed
=> x * 10% = 0.377 mg => x * 0.1 = 0.377mg
=> x = 0.377 mg / 0.1 = 3.77 mg
That means that 3.77 mg of K-40 decayed into Ar-40. And this is the answer to the question.
Additionaly, you can analyze the content of all K-40 and Ca-40, to understand better the case.
2) The mass of the K-40 that decayed into Ca-40 is 9 times (ratio 9:1) the amount that decayed into Ar-40 =>
mass of K-40 that decayed into Ca-40 = 9 * 0.377 = 3.393 mg
3) Total amount of K-40 that decayed = amount that decayed into Ar-40 + amount that decayed into Ca-40 = 0.377mg + 3.393mg = 3.77 mg
4) Original amount of K-40 = amount of K-40 that decayed + amount of K-40 present in the rock = 3.77mg + 0.81 mg = 4.58 mg
5) amount of K-40 that decayed into Ar-40 as percent
% = [3.77 mg / 4.58mg] * 100 = 82.31 %.
