How much faster will ammonia vapor travel across a room then carbon dioxide a. 0.622
b. 1.39
c. 7.55
d. 1.61

D) 1.61 times faster

Explanation:

= √(3)RTM

R constant= 0.08206

T=constant, so in this problem we dont need a value for it

M=17.031 g/mol

√(3)(0.08206)(17.031)= 2.047

= √(3)RTM

R constant= 0.08206

T=constant, so in this problem we dont need a value for it

M= 44.01 g/mol

√(3)(0.08206)(44.01)= 3.29

Since we are trying to measure how much faster NH3 will be, we have to realize that mass and speed have an inverse relationship.

So instead of doing (2.047)/(3.29) = 6.22

we have to flip the values to get (3.29)/(2.047)= 1.61

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
