Nitrogen — 78 percent. Oxygen — 21 percent. Argon — 0.93 percent. Carbon dioxide — 0.04 percent. Trace amounts of neon, helium, methane, krypton and hydrogen, as well as water vapor. How do gases get into the atmosphere? The quantity of greenhouse gases is increasing as fossil fuels are burned,Read More →
Hydrocarbon gases are methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), butanes (C4H10), pentanes (C5H12), hexane (C6H14), heptane (C7H16), and sometimes trace amounts of octane (C8H18), and higher molecular weight hydrocarbons. Are hydrocarbons gaseous? Hydrocarbons can be gases (e.g. methane and propane), liquids (e.g. hexane and benzene), waxes or low melting solidsRead More →
Answer: Hydrogen (H2) gas diffuses 4 times faster than oxygen (O2) gas. Explanation: According to Graham’s law of diffusion, the rate of diffusion or movement of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it’s molecular weight. Which of the following diffuses rapidly very fast? Because of the movementRead More →
