Answer:

80.92, Krypton

Explanation:

<u>What is effusion?</u>

• It is a process where gas escapes through a pinhole (a very small hole) into a region of low pressure or vacuum

<u>Graham's law of effusion of </u><u>gas</u>

• states that at a given constant temperature and pressure, the rate of effusion of gases is inversely proportional to the square root of their molar masses

\boxed{ \frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2} =  \sqrt{ \frac{M_2}{M_1} } }

<u>Calculations</u>

Nitrogen exist as N₂ at room temperature, thus its molar mass is 2(14)= 28.

Let the rate and molar mass of unknown gas be Rate₂ and M₂ respectively.

Since N₂ effuses 1.7 times as fast as the unknown gas,

Rate₁= 1.7(Rate₂)

\frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2} = 1.7

1. 7 =  \sqrt{ \frac{M_2}{28} }

Square both sides:

2.89  = \frac{M_2}{28}

Multiply both sides by 28:

2.89(28)= M₂

M₂= 80.92

<u>Identity of </u><u>gas</u>

The molar mass of 80.92 lies between Bromine and Krypton. However since Bromine exist as Br₂, the value of it's molar mass would be 159.8 instead. Hence, Bromine is eliminated.

If the gas is a diatomic element, the atomic weight is 80.92 ÷2= 40.46. Thus, we are now considering if Argon could be its identity. However, Argon is a noble gas and will not exist as a diatomic element. Argon is therefore eliminated too.

Thus based on the above reasoning, its probable identity is Krypton.

are either positively charged or negatively charged species in which the number of protons and electrons are not equal. ________
fredd [130]

Answer:

1. Ions are either negatively or positively charged species in which the number of electrons and protons are not equal.

2. The chemical bond that arises due to the sharing of electrons is termed a covalent bond.

3. The positively charged ions are called cations, which comprise more protons than electrons.

4. An example of a polyatomic anion is the hydroxide anion.

5. The system of assigning an unambiguous name to a compound is called nomenclature.

What is the meaning of cryosphere
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The part of the earth’s surface where, at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the water is frozen solid. Even a small pond while frozen over during the winter is part of the cryosphere, but cryosphere refers more often to large regions covered in snow and ice for much or all of the year, as the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, glaciers, icebergs, and expanses of permafrost, all of which are especially sensitive to global shifts in climate:
