Because the weight / density of chlorine is more than hydrogen. Hence the rate of displacement will be less than that of hydrogen.

Which gases will have the greatest rate of effusion?

The slowest rate of effusion will be exhibited by the gas with the highest molar mass. For example, Xenon will diffuse at a slower rate than Helium, and chlorine will diffuse at a slower rate than fluorine.


Does Chlorine water evaporate slower than tap water?

no


Does water expand or contract when frozen?

expands because hydrogen bond operates the molecules and increase the average distance between molecules


What is the difference between 35Cl and 37Cl?

Their number of neutrons. Chlorine 35 and Chlorine 37, What is the difference? Basically, they are both chlorine. They are not distinguished as 2 different elements because they consist of the same number of protons. The atomic number, aka proton number, is what differs between elements. The 2 of them are isotopes of the same element. The number 35 and 37 represents their mass number, which is the number of protons + number of neutrons. Hence, we can see that Chlorine 37 has 2 more neutrons compared to Chlorine 35. What is different then? Isotopes of the same element are identical. A heavier isotope might tend to react slower than a lighter one, which in this case, Chlorine 37 is the heavier one. Isotopes with more neutrons also have better nuclear stability. Isotopes also differ in abundance in nature. Chlorine 35 has an abundance of 75.53%. As chlorine only exist in 2 isotopes, the rest of chlorine found will be Chlorine 37, meaning that it will have an abundance percentage of 24.47%.

Is chlorine water good for healing wounds?

Chlorine water, (the water in swimming pools) kills the germs in the wound although it damages the healing tissue which results in a slower healing process.


Why does oxygen molecule go slower than hydrogen molecule?

Because the hydrogen molecules are further apart than the oxygen so move quicker.


How do you get the ideal reading of chlorine in the pool?

When chlorine enters the water, it is in a form that is an active sanitizer and an oxidizer called "free chlorine". It will react with any number of contaminants in the water. When it reacts with ammonia compounds in the water, which come from bathers' perspiration and urine, it becomes "combined chlorine". In this form, chlorine is a much slower sanitizer. This form also causes chlorine odor and eye irritation. When using the 5-way strip, the difference between the free chlorine reading (pad 1) and the total chlorine reading (pad 2) is the combined chlorine reading.

Must your horse return to walking to get from cantering to galloping?

No; the gallop is just a faster, longer-striding canter (or, more accurately, the canter is a slower, more collected gallop).


Why do you hear tunder sound after lightning explain?

because sound travels slower than light, the you are to the lightning the sooner you hear the thunder..


Why does frozen liver react with hydrogen peroxide more than raw liver?

the frozen liver reaction should have been slower than the liver at room temperature, as this is the optimal condition for the enzyme catalase. The reaction would occur at a slower rate when an enzyme is below its optimal condition so generally when an enzyme is in cold conditions it will function slower.


Is the light travels SLOWER in air than water is the best explanation why the pencil appears broken at the boundary air and water?

Yoiu can explain that observation with the difference of the speed of light in air and in water. But in fact, the speed is FASTER in air and SLOWER in water.


What is echo define and explain with examples?

Echo is a delay of sound - it comes at a slower rate and appears to echo. Often distance is a major factor of echo.


If Hydrogen ion concentration in the intermembrane space and the matrix reach equilibrium?

If hydrogen ion concentration in the inter membrane space and matrix of a mitocondria reach equilibrium then ATP synthase, which relies on a high concentration of hydrogen ions in the intermembrane space will work slower, letting less hydrogen ions into the matrix, while proteins in the electron transport chain pump hydrogen ions into the intermembrane space at a faster rate, destroying the equilibrium.
