Atoms are generally neutral because they have an equal amount of protons and electrons.
Answer is: the ratio of the effusion rate is 1.59 : 1.
1) rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 1/√M(CO).
rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 1/√28.
rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 0.189.
2) rate of effusion of chlorine = 1/√M(Cl₂).
rate of effusion of chlorine = 1/√70.9.
rate of effusion of chlorine = 0.119.
rate of effusion of carbon monoxide : rate of effusion of chlorine =
= 0.189 : 0.119 / ÷0.119.
rate of effusion of carbon monoxide : rate of effusion of chlorine = 1.59 : 1.
The wall would absorb extra heat during the day when the sun is out, then release the heat back into the room when the sun goes down.
Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a <u>BASE</u> in an acid-base reaction because it <u>ACCEPTS</u> a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.
According to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.
Bases may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.
In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e.
KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻
Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,
K⁺ + OH⁻ + HCl → H₂O + KCl
