What gas diffuses more quickly hydrochloric acid or ammonium hydroxide?
Wiki User

Two gasses at the same temperature have the same average amount of kinetic energy per molecule. An ammonia (NH3) molecule has less mass than hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride, HCl) molecule. Since the NH3 has the same amount of kinetic energy as the more massive HCl, ammonia molecules will move faster and thus diffuse faster.
Kinetic energy ~ 1/2*m*v2

∙ 13y agoAmmonium hydroxide will diffuse faster than hydrochloric acid, reason being ammonium hydroxide has a lighter molecular weight and the rate of diffusion is usually inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass of the gas.

because ammonia has a lighter mass therefore it diffuses faster.

Can you dissolve zinc in acid?
Yup, hydrochloric, sulfuric (with hydrogen peroxide), and nitric acid should do the trick pretty quickly
What would happen if sodium and a weak solution of hydrochloric acid where put together?
2Na (s) + 2HCl (aq) --> 2NaCl (aq) + H2 (g) When sodium is added to hydrochloric acid, the sodium quickly dissolves and you can see some colorless gas bubbles.
Which affect metals base or acid?
Usually acids are known to affect metals. this rule applies for acid + metal reactions. An acid + a metal reacts to give a metal salt + hydrogen Eg: Zinc + Hydrochloric acid reacts to give zinc chloride + HydrogenThe above answer is correct, but should not be taken to mean that only acids affect metals. A concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide dissolves aluminum quite quickly.
Is Hydrochloric Acid is a Exothermic?
Being exothermic relates to a reaction of two substances which give out heat to the surroundings. As such, hydrochloric acid can't be exothermic by itself. If you add concentrated hydrochloric acid to water, however, heat is generated in the reaction which is one of the reasons why hydrochloric acid should only be diluted in this way (acid added to water, not the other way round) otherwise the solution can quickly and violently boil over and cause acid and heat burns to anything it touches.
How soon can you swim after adding sulfuric acid?
It will mix very quickly so you can swim immediately. However what are you putting sulphuric acid in your pool for you should be using hydrochloric or mercuric acid
How quickly an indigestion tablet reacts with hydrochloric acid depends on the concentration of the acid?
FAST
Does potassium permanganate dye diffuse faster in water or an agar gel?
Potassium permanganate dye diffuses more quickly through water than agar gel.The rate of diffusion depends on the molecular weight of the chemical and the characteristics of the medium through which the substance diffuses.
how do cola manufacturers make sure that the solutes dissolve quickly in the solvent?
a base is one that produces hydroxide ions
Why must you wash sodium hydroxide quickly off of your hands?
Sodium Hydroxide is a powerful alkali which reacts with the natural oils in your skin and converts them to soap which results in a "soapy feel" on the skin. The NaOH rapidly eats away at your flesh. It is highly corrosive and you must wash your hands thoroughly and quickly.
What is the difference between the reactions of concentrated hydrochloric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid with magnesium?
Concentrated hydrochloric acid is more reactive than dilute hydrochloric acid. When concentrated hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium, it produces magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas more quickly and vigorously compared to when dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium. This is due to the higher concentration of hydrogen ions in concentrated hydrochloric acid, leading to a faster and more intense reaction.
Which one of iron copper zinc or calcium reacts quickly with diluted hydrochloric acid?
Among these calcium is highly reactive towards acids.

How do Platyhelminthes breathe?
Platyhelminthes breathe using their entire body. Being flat, oxygen diffuses quickly across the skin and to all parts of the body, so they don't need a blood circulatory or respiratory system.
Which element reacts quickly with hydrochloric acid and bubbles are observed during the reaction but however the same metal does not react with water?
There are many metals including aluminium and zinc.

What can you use to make metal rust?
Dilute hydrochloric acid will make steel corrode extremely quickly. Other metals need other agents to make them corrode "rust"
