24.4 cm.

Explanation

HCl and NH₃ reacts to form NH₄Cl immediately after coming into contact. Where NH₄Cl is found is the place the two gases ran into each other. To figure out where the two gases came into contact, you'll need to know how fast they move relative to each other.

The speed of a HCl or NH₃ molecule depends on its kinetic energy.

$E_\text{k} = 1/2 \; m \cdot v^{2}$

Where

$E_\text{k}$ is the kinetic energy of the molecule,

its mass, and $v^{2}$ the square of its speed.

Besides, the kinetic theory of gases suggests that for an ideal gas,

$E_\text{k} \propto T$

where $\text{T}$ its temperature in degrees kelvins. The two quantities are directly proportional to each other. In other words, the average kinetic energy of molecules shall be the same for any ideal gas at the same temperature. So is the case for HCl and NH₃

$E_\text{k} (\text{HCl}) = E_\text{k} (\text{NH}_3)$

$m(\text{HCl}) \cdot v^{2}(\text{HCl}) = E_\text{k} (\text{HCl}) = E_\text{k} (\text{NH}_3) = m(\text{NH}_3) \cdot v^{2}(\text{NH}_3)$

Where

$m(\text{HCl})$ , $v(\text{HCl})$ , and $E_\text{k}(\text{NH_3})$ the mass, speed, and kinetic energy of an HCl molecule; $m(\text{NH}_3)$ , $v(\text{NH}_3)$ , and $E_\text{k}(\text{NH}_3)$ the mass, speed, and kinetic energy of a NH₃ molecule.

The ratio between the mass of an HCl molecule and a NH₃ molecule equals to the ratio between their molar mass. HCl has a molar mass of 35.45; NH₃ has a molar mass of 17.03. As a result, $m(\text{HCl}) = 36.45 / 17.03 \; m(\text{NH}_3)$ . Therefore:

$36.45 /17.03\; m(\text{NH}_3) \cdot v^{2}(\text{HCl}) = m(\text{HCl}) \cdot v^{2}(\text{HCl}) = m(\text{NH}_3) \cdot v^{2}(\text{NH}_3)$

$36.45 /17.03\; v^{2}(\text{HCl}) = v^{2}(\text{NH}_3)$

$\sqrt{36.45 /17.03}\; v(\text{HCl}) = v(\text{NH}_3)$

The average speed NH₃ molecules would be $\sqrt{36.45/17.03} \approx 1.463$ if the average speed of HCl molecules $v(\text{HCl})$ is 1.

$\text{Time before the two gases meet} = \frac{\text{Length of the Tube}}{v(\text{HCl}) + v(\text{NH}_3)}$

$\text{Distance from the HCl end} = v(\text{HCl}) \times \text{Time before the two gases meet}\\\phantom{\text{Distance from the HCl end}} = v(\text{HCl}) \times \frac{ \text{Length of the Tube}}{v(\text{HCl}) + v(\text{NH}_3)}\\\phantom{\text{Distance from the HCl end}} = \frac{v(\text{HCl})}{v(\text{HCl}) + v(\text{NH}_3)} \times \text{Length of the Tube}\\\phantom{\text{Distance from the HCl end}} = \frac{1}{1 + 1.463} \times 60.0\; \text{cm} \\\phantom{\text{Distance from the HCl end}} = 24.4 \; \text{cm}$

Answer from: Quest

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.

Answer from: Quest

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
