A. Because sodium is a metal and metals are good conductors
To determine what gas is this, we use Graham's Law of Effusion where it relates the rates of effusion of gases and their molar masses. We do as follows:
r1/r2 = √(M2 / M1)
Let 1 be the the unkown gas and 2 the H2 gas.
r1/r2 = 0.225
M2 = 2.02 g/mol
0.225 = √(2.02 / M1)
M1 = 39.90 g/mol
From the periodic table of elements, most likely, the gas is argon.
the very bottom of the ocean and they are relevant by most of the animals feed off of the animals that come out of he vents
The electron releases energy.
