During the discussion of gaseous diffusion for enriching uranium, it was claimed that 235UF6 diffuses 0.4% faster than 238UF6. Show the calculation that supports this value. The molar mass of 235UF6 = 235.043930 + 6 x 18.998403 = 349.034348 g/mol, and the molar mass of 238UF6 = 238.050788 + 6 x 18.998403 = 352.041206 g/mol.

2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.
7. A technician is setting up a laboratory to standardise ~0.0200 mol dm–3 KMnO4. What mass of Mohr’s salt [FeSO4(NH4)2SO4·6H2O] would the technician be required to weigh out to produce a 5.00 L solution of Mohr’s salt such that 25.0 cm3 aliquots of the salt would require a titre of 20.0 cm3 to standardise the KMnO4 solution?
One of relatively few reactions that takes place directly between two solids at room temperature is Ba(OH), · 8H20(s) + NH4 SCN(s) Ba(SCN),(8) + H2O(1) + NH3 (9) In this equation, the 8H2O in Ba(OH), · 8H2O indicates the presence of eight water molecules. This compound is called barium hydroxide octahydrate. a. Balance the equation. (Use the lowest possible coefficients for the reaction.)

The atmosphere of Mars is 96% CO2, with a pressure of approximately 6 * 10−3 atm at the surface. Based on measurements taken over a period of several years by the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS), the average daytime temperature at the REMS location on Mars is –5.7 °C (22 °F), while the average nighttime temperature is –79 °C (–109 °F). This daily variation in temperature is much larger than what we experience on Earth. What factor plays the largest role in this wide temperature variation, the composition or the density of the atmosphere?
