All particles of an ideal gas have the same KE. If a gas particle has a small mass, it takes less energy to move a specified distance when compared to a gas particle with a larger mass.
KE = mu2(squared) / 2
KE = average kinetic energy
m = mass of the particle
u = average velocity of the particle
Also Graham's Law"
Rate1 / Rate2 = square root of (Mass2 / Mass 1)
HCN will diffuse faster due to its lower molecular weight.
No, lighter gas particles diffuse more rapidly than heavier gas particles because they have higher average speeds due to their lower masses. This means they can move more quickly through a medium, leading to faster diffusion rates.
Higher temperatures mean more heat energy which translates into more kinetic energy of the molecules of nitrogen gas. This greater kinetic energy allows the molecules to diffuse faster than at a lower temperature and lower kinetic energy.
At STP, Helium (He) will diffuse more readily than the other gases listed (Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) due to its smaller atomic size and lower molecular weight, resulting in higher average velocity of gas molecules and thus faster diffusion rates.
In a non-polar GC column, compounds with lower polarity elute first. Non-polar compounds are less attracted to the non-polar stationary phase of the column, so they move through the column faster than polar compounds.
HCN will diffuse faster due to its lower molecular weight.
Helium diffuses twice faster as Methane does.
Chlorine gas will diffuse faster than bromine gas because it has a lower molecular weight and therefore moves more quickly through a medium. The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas, so lighter gases diffuse faster.
Helium (He) will diffuse faster than Neon (Ne) because helium has a lower atomic mass and smaller atomic size, making it lighter and easier to move through a medium.
No, substances with higher molecular weight typically diffuse more slowly than those with lower molecular weight due to larger size and greater interaction with surrounding molecules. Smaller molecules have less resistance to movement and can diffuse more easily across a membrane or through a solution.
No, lighter gas particles diffuse more rapidly than heavier gas particles because they have higher average speeds due to their lower masses. This means they can move more quickly through a medium, leading to faster diffusion rates.
Hydrogen will diffuse faster than methane because hydrogen molecules are smaller and lighter, allowing them to move more easily through a medium. Additionally, hydrogen has a lower molecular weight than methane, further contributing to its faster diffusion rate.
Chlorine gas diffuses the fastest among the gases listed. This is because gases with lower molar masses diffuse faster, and chlorine gas has the lowest molar mass among the options provided.
Propanone has a lower boiling point and evaporates faster.
CO2 diffuses faster than oxygen because it is a smaller molecule and has a lower molecular weight, allowing it to move more rapidly through cell membranes and other barriers. Additionally, CO2 has a higher solubility in water compared to oxygen, further aiding its diffusion.
Higher temperatures mean more heat energy which translates into more kinetic energy of the molecules of nitrogen gas. This greater kinetic energy allows the molecules to diffuse faster than at a lower temperature and lower kinetic energy.
Chlorine will diffuse faster than bromine because it has a lower molecular weight and therefore lighter molecules, which allows them to move more quickly through a medium. Additionally, chlorine molecules have a smaller size compared to bromine molecules, further facilitating their diffusion.
