<span>The chemical formula for the unknown gas is Ne. Since we're looking for the rate at which a gas escapes through a small hole, we're dealing with effusion. For effusion, the rate is proportional to the velocity of the gas particles. Kinetic energy E = 0.5 mv^2 Since the kinetic energy of individual gas particles is the same if their temperatures are the same, we can create the following equality: 0.5 m1(v1)^2 = 0.5 m2(v2)^2 Double each side to make it simplier. m1(v1)^2 = m2(v2)^2 Divide both sides by m1 and by (v2)^2, giving (v1)^2/(v2^2) = m2/m1 And take the square root, giving (v1)/(v2) = sqrt(m2/m1) Now let's use the value 1 and the atomic weight of Kr for v1 and m1 1/(v2) = sqrt(m2/83.798) And for v2, we'll use the value 2.04 1/2.04 = sqrt(m2/83.798) Now solve for m2. 1/2.04 = sqrt(m2/83.798) 1/4.1616 = m2/83.798 83.798/4.1616 = m2 20.13600538 = m2 So the atomic weight of the unknown gas should be close to 20.136. Looking at a periodic table, I find that neon has an atomic weight of 20.18 which is quite close. Additionally, since neon is a noble gas, its gas particles consist of individual atoms. So the unknown gas is neon.</span>

Gas consisting of atoms exits through the eye of a needle 2.04 times faster than Kr gas. The chemical formula of the gas must be determined.

Rate1/Rate2 = square root M1/M2

$\frac{Rate1}{Rate2}$

<h2>Further explanation</h2>

Graham's law reveals the relationship between the level of effusion or diffusion and the molar mass of a gas. Diffusion describes the spread of gas throughout the second volume of gas, while effusion describes the movement of gas through a small hole into an open space.

Chemical Problems Graham Law

One way to apply Graham's law is to determine whether one gas will have an effect faster or slower than the others and to quantify the rate difference.

For example, if you want to compare the effusion rates of hydrogen gas (H 2) and oxygen gas (O 2), you use the molar mass of gas (2 for hydrogen and 32 for oxygen, which is the atomic mass multiplied by 2 because each molecule contains two-atom) and connect it in reverse:

rate H 2 / rate O 2 = 32 1/2 / 2 1/2 = 16 1/2 / 1 1/2 = 4/1

So, hydrogen gas molecules produce four times faster than oxygen molecules.

Another type of Graham legal problem might require you to find the molecular weight of a gas if you know the identity of one gas and the ratio between the effusion levels of two gases is known.

The electric field at a point 2.8 cm from a small object points toward the object with a strength of 180,000 N/C. What is the ob

givi [52]

Answer:

Charge, $Q=1.56\times 10^{-8}\ C$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field strength, E = 180000 N/C

Distance from a small object, r = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

Electric field at a point is given by :

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}$

Q is the charge on an object

$Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}$

$Q=\dfrac{180000\ N/C\times (0.028\ m)^2}{9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2}$

$Q=1.56\times 10^{-8}\ C$

So, the charge on the object is $1.56\times 10^{-8}\ C$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Which statement would be a valid argument in favor of using nuclear power? There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.

fgiga [73]

Okay so, lets use the process of elimination here.

<span>A)There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
B)Reactors are safe from natural disasters.
C)There are little to no waste products from fission.
D)Nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases.

First off, we know B cannot be correct, seeing as how reactors are fragile and are damaged easily by Japan's earthquakes. So we can eliminate B from the choices. We then can eliminate C, since fission creates high levels of nuclear waste, so that leaves us with just A, and D. We can then eliminate A since uranium is radioactive, there is always a chance for negative effects.

So, the correct answer is D</span>

The maximum tension that a 0.80 m string can tolerate is 15 N. A 0.35-kg ball attached to this string is being whirled in a vert

zimovet [89]

Answer:

v=5.86 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the string, l = 0.8 m

Maximum tension tolerated by the string, F = 15 N

Mass of the ball, m = 0.35 kg

We need to find the maximum speed the ball can have at the top of the circle. The ball is moving under the action of the centripetal force. The length of the string will be the radius of the circular path. The centripetal force is given by the relation as follows :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

v is the maximum speed

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{15\times 0.8}{0.35}} \\\\v=5.86\ m/s$

Hence, the maximum speed of the ball is 5.86 m/s.

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the crit

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Complete Question:

A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle $\theta_{a}$ , since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. For example, the indices of refraction in diamond are $n_{red} = 2.410$ for red light and $n_{blue} = 2.450$ for blue light. Thus, blue light and red light are refracted at different angles inside the diamond. The surrounding air has $n_{air} = 1.000$ .

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the critical angle θcrit, the light will not be refracted out into the air, but instead it will be totally internally reflected back into the diamond. Find θcrit. Express your answer in degrees to four significant figures.

Answer:

$\theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}$

Explanation:

Only the blue refracted ray is related to the critical angle in this question

$n_{air} = 1.000$

$n_{blue} = 2.450$

The relationship between the critical angle( $\theta_{crit}$ ), $n_{air}$ and $n_{blue}$ can be given as $sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{n_{air} }{n_{blue} }$

$sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} 0.4082^{0}\\ \theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}$
