Explanation:
Graham's Law of Diffusion states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density (or molar mass) at constant temperature and pressure (r ∝ 1/√d). Lighter gases diffuse faster than heavier ones, which explains why helium balloons deflate quickly.
Explanation:
NH₄Cl is from HCl (strong) and NH₄OH (weak). Its aqueous solution is acidic due to hydrolysis of NH₄⁺. NaCl is neutral (strong-strong). CH₃COONa basic (weak-strong).
Explanation:
Atomic radius decreases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge. Sodium (Na) is the first element in period 3, thus it has the largest atomic radius. Argon (noble gas) has the smallest (though noble gas radii are van der Waals and larger than covalent, but still trend is decreasing). For metals, Na > Mg > Al; non-metals further smaller.
