A tank containing both hf and hbr gases developed a leak. The ratio of the rate of effusion of hf to the rate of effusion of hbr is ________.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.01

Explanation:

The effusion is the passage of the molecules by a small hole by a difference of pressure. By Graham's Law, the rate of the effusion is inversely proportional to the square of the molar mass of the compound. Thus,

rateHF/rateHBr = √MHBr /√MHF

MHBr = 81 g/mol

MHF = 20 g/mol

rateHF/rateHBr = √81/√20

rateHF/rateHBr = 2.01
