Calculate the collision rate, in terms number of collisions per m³ per s, for an equimolar mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas at 400 °C and 1 atm. If the pressure is double (i.e., at 2 atm) while keeping the temperature the same (i.e., at 400 °C), how does the collision rate change? Useful information: Radius of a hydrogen molecule: 1.37 Å Radius of an oxygen molecule: 1.805 Å Mass of a hydrogen atom: 1 amu Mass of an oxygen atom: 16 amu Boltzmann's constant kg = 1.38 × 10-23 m²-kg/(K-s?)

Consider a gas mixture containing equal concentrations of argon and helium. Without performing any calculations, determine which is higher: the number of collisions between helium and helium, the number of collisions between argon and argon, or the number of collisions between helium and argon?
When two cotton plugs. one moistened with ammonia and the other with hydrochloric acid, are simultaneously inserted into opposite ends of a glass tube that is 87.0 cm long, a white 1111g of NH4Cl forms where gaseous NH3 and gaseous HC1 first come into contact. NH3(g)+HCl(g)NH4Cl(s) At approximately what distance from the ammonia moistened plug does this occur? (Hint: Calculate the rates of diffusion for both NH3 and HCI, and find out how much faster NH3 diffuses than HCI.)

Heavy water, D2O (molar mass = 20.03 g mol-1). can be separated from ordinary water, H2O (molar mass = 18.01), as a result of the difference in the relative rates of diffusion of the molecules in the gas phase. Calculate the relative rates of diffusion of H2O and D2O.
105 The decomposition of mercury(II) thiocyanate produces an odd brown snake-like mass that is so unusual the process was once used in fireworks displays. There are actually several reactions that take place when the solid Hg(SCN)2 is ignited: 2Hg(SCN)2(s)2HgS(s)+CS2(s)+C3N4(s)CS2(s)+3O2(g)CO2(g)+2SO2(g)2C3N4(s)3(CN)2(g)+N2(g)HgS(s)+O2(g)Hg(l)+SO2(g) A 42.4-g sample of Hg(SCN)2 is placed into a 2.4-L vessel at 21°C. The vessel also contains air at a pressure of 758 torr. The container is sealed and the mixture is ignited, causing the reaction sequence above to occur. Once the reaction is complete, the container is cooled back to the original temperature of 21°C. (a) Without doing numerical calculations, predict whether the final pressure in the vessel will be greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure. Explain your answer. (b) Calculate the final pressure and compare your result with your prediction. (Assume that the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.21.)
