A 3.0-L sample of helium was placed in container fitted with a porous membrane. Half of the helium effused through the membrane

in 24 hours. A 3.0-L sample of oxygen was placed in an identical container. How many hours will it take for half of the oxygen to effuse through the membrane?

Explanation:

The rate at which gases effuse is inversely related to the square root of their molar masses.

In this case, half of the helium (1.5 L) passed through the membrane in 24 hours. Therefore, we can calculate the effusion rate of He gas as follows.

          \frac{1.5 L}{24 hr}

            = 0.0625 L/hr

Given that the molar mass of He is 4 g/mol and for O_{2} it is 32 g/mol.

Now,

   \frac{\text{Rate of He}}{\text{Rate of Oxygen}} = \sqrt{\frac{32}{4}

                               = 2.83

Thus, the effusion rate of O_{2} = \frac{\text{Rate of He}}{2.83}

                       = \frac{0.0625 L/hr}{2.83}

          Rate of O_{2} = 0.022 L/hr.

This implies that 0.022 L of O_{2} gas will effuse in one hour.

Consequently, to find the duration needed for 1.5 L of O_{2} gas to effuse, we calculate as follows.

         \frac{1.5 L}{0.022 L/hr}

                = 68.18 hours

Thus, we can conclude that it will require 68.18 hours for half of the oxygen to effuse through the membrane.

3. For the reaction: 2X + 3Y 3Z, the combination of 2.00 moles of X with 2.00
lions [2782]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering the reaction: 2X + 3Y = 3Z, combining 2.00 moles of X with 2.00 moles of Y results in the production of 1.75 moles of Z.

      2 mol       2 mol   1.75 mol

       2X     +    3Y       =    3Z

2 mol is required with 3 mol to yield 3 mol.

3 mol Z / 3 mol Y =  1 to 1

should yield 2 mol Z

1.75 / 2 = 87.5 % production yield

Calculate the pH of a polyprotic acid given and sketch the titration curves for the following reaction:
Tems11 [2624]
(1). pH = 1.70 (2). pH = 2.3 (3). pH = 3.3 (4). pH = 4.3 (5). pH = 8.41 (6). pH = 10.22. The explanation indicates that the acid is represented by H₂A, and the titration curve shows clear transitions at both equivalence points due to the following reactions: H₂A + OH⁻ → HA⁻ + H₂O and HA⁻ + OH⁻ → A²⁻ + H₂O. Calculations conclude with the corresponding pH values at specified points.

How many molecules are in 0.25 grams of dinitrogen pentoxide?
eduard [2645]
To determine the answer, you need to understand the formula for converting grams to moles, which will then lead you to the number of molecules.
The result is 2 moles of N2O5. The process is as follows:
(0.25 g N2O5) (1 mol/ 108 g)=2.31 molecules
Thus, the final answer is 2 molecules.

Four students are developing a model to illustrate covalent and ionic substances dissolving in
Anarel [2728]

Students dealing with ionic bonds comprehend better how to convey what the model should showcase.

Explanation:

  • Upon dissolving ionic compounds in water, the compounds separate into their constituent ions via a process called dissociation.
  • The ions become attracted to water molecules, which carry a polar charge.
  • If the pull between the ions and the water molecules is strong enough to disband the ionic bonds, the compound dissolves.
  • The ions disperse in the solution, each surrounded by water molecules to inhibit reattachment.
  • The ionic solution forms an electrolyte, allowing it to conduct electricity.
  • In contrast, while covalent compounds do dissolve in water, they separate into molecules, not individual atoms.
  • Water acts as a polar solvent, yet covalent compounds are generally nonpolar.
  • This implies that covalent compounds often do not dissolve in water and instead form a distinct layer on top of the water.
