Of the following gases, ______ will have the greatest rate of effusion at a given temperature.A) NH3B) CH4C) ArD) HBrE) HCl

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

CH₄

Explanation:

According to Graham's law, <em>the rate of effusion of a gas (r) is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (M)</em>.

Let's consider the following gases and their molar masses.

A) NH₃ 17.03 g/mol

B) CH₄ 16.04 g/mol

C) Ar 39.95 g/mol

D) HBr 80.91 g/mol

E) HCl 36.46 g/mol

Of these gases, CH₄ will have the greatest rate of effusion at a given temperature because it has the lowest molar mass.

What must be changed, temperature or heat energy, during condensation explain in 2-3 sentences

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Change occur in heat energy.

Explanation:

Change occur in the heat energy of molecules during condensation process. The molecules of gas releases its heat energy and converted into liquid state. With this heat energy, they are active and escape from each other but when the heat energy is removed from them, the attractive forces between these gas molecules are formed which convert them into liquid state so change in heat energy occur in the condensation process.

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Maru [420]

Answer :

(a) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (+1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-3) and $1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation :

For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. But, they are unequal when the atoms present in the form of ions or the atom has some charges.

When an unequal number of electrons and protons then it leads to the formation of ionic species.

Ion : An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.

When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

(a) The given element is, Rb (Rubidium)

As we know that the rubidium element belongs to group 1 and the atomic number is, 37

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^1$

This element will easily loose 1 electron and form $Rb^+$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Rb ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The given element is, N (Nitrogen)

As we know that the nitrogen element belongs to group 15 and the atomic number is, 7

The ground-state electron configuration of N is:

$1s^22s^22p^3$

This element will easily gain 3 electrons and form $N^{3-}$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of N ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The given element is, Br (Bromine)

As we know that the bromine element belongs to group 17 and the atomic number is, 35

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5$

This element will easily gain 1 electron and form $Br^-$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Br ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$
