Of the following two gases, which would you predict to diffuse more rapidly? PLZZ HELPP PLZ PLZ PLZ

CO2 will diffuse more rapidly.

Explanation:

From Graham's law of diffusion, we understood that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density as shown below:

Rate (R) & 1/√Density (d)

R & 1/√d

But, the density of a gas is directly proportional to the relative molecular mass (M) of the gas.

Thus, we can say that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. This can be represented mathematically as:

Rate (R) & 1/√Molar mass (M)

R & 1/√M

From the above illustration, we can say that the lighter the gas, the faster the rate of diffusion and the heavier the gas, the slower the rate of diffusion.

Now, to answer the question given above,let us determine the molar mass of Cl2 and CO2.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Cl2 = 2 x 35.5 = 71 g/mol

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Summary

Gas >>>>>> Molar mass

Cl2 >>>>>> 71 g/mol

CO2 >>>>> 44 g/mol

From the illustration above, we can see that CO2 is lighter than Cl2.

Therefore, CO2 will diffuse more rapidly.

chemical properties are the characteristic of matter which can only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a sample like flammability reactivity and toxicity.

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
