What else can I help you with?
Does a lighter gas effuse slower than heavier gases?
No, lighter gases effuse faster than heavier gases. This is because the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. Lighter gases have lower molar masses, which results in faster effusion speeds.
Is natural gas lighter or heavier than air?
Natural gas is lighter than air and rises.
Why is water heavier than the two gasses that compose it?
fluids are heavier than gases. When hydrogen its by itself is lighter than water as so the oxygen is also lighter. Once combined they form a fluid thus the combination of two gases produced a fluid which will turn heavier.
What determines if gases or vapors are lighter or heavier than air?
The molecular weight of the gas or vapor plays a key role in determining whether it is lighter or heavier than air. Gases or vapors with lower molecular weights are typically lighter than air and will rise, while those with higher molecular weights are heavier and tend to sink. Temperature and pressure can also impact the behavior of gases and vapors relative to air.
If ice became a gas would it be heavier than a solid?
No, all gases are lighter than solids
Which object forms by the contraction of a large sphere of gases causing the nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements?
A star forms by the contraction of a large sphere of gases. This contraction causes the nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements, releasing energy in the process.
Can heavier gas move upwards?
Yes heavier gas can move upwards or downwards at the same time as coolgas is moving in the opposite direction. For example in a fringe. Why do you think theyy put the fruit and vegetable conatiners at the bottom of the fringe? Because hot air rises and cold air sinks. Hope this helps!!
What is heterosphere mean?
The atmosphere above 80km (50 mi) and the homosphere where gases are stratified, with concentrations of the heavier gases decreasing more rapidly with altitude than concentrations of the lighter gases
Why lighter gases diffuse more rapidly than havier gases?
The idea is that they tend to be made up of lighter molecules; on average, these move faster (for a given temperature) than heavier (actually, more massive) molecules.
Which object forms the contraction of a large sphere of gases causing the nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements?
A star is the object that forms from the contraction of a large sphere of gases, leading to nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat.
Does all gases diffuse the same speed?
No, all gases do not diffuse at the same speed. Factors such as molecular weight, temperature, and pressure influence the diffusion rate of gases. Lighter gases tend to diffuse faster than heavier gases.
Which gasses are heavier than oxygen?
Gases that are heavier than oxygen include nitrogen, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. These gases have greater atomic or molecular weights than oxygen, making them heavier.
