Aqueous concentrated nitric acid is 69% hno3 by weight and has a density of 1.42 g/ml.

OleMash [197]

Answer: -

15.55 M

35.325 molal

Explanation: -

Let the volume of the solution be 1000 mL.

Density of nitric acid = 1.42 g/ mL

Total Mass of nitric acid Solution = Volume of nitric acid x Density of nitric acid

= 1000 mL x 1.42 g/ mL

= 1420 g.

Percentage of HNO₃ = 69%

Amount of HNO₃ = $\frac{69} {100} x 1420 g$

= 979.8 g

Molar mass of HNO₃ = 1 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3 = 63 g /mol

Number of moles of HNO₃ = $\frac{979.8 g}{63 g/ mol}$

= 15.55 mol

Molarity is defined as number of moles per 1000 mL

We had taken 1000 mL as volume and found it to contain 15.55 moles.

Molarity of HNO₃ = 15.55 M

Mass of water = Total mass of nitric acid solution - mass of nitric acid

= 1420 - 979.8

= 440.2 g

So we see that 440.2 g of water contains 15.55 moles of HNO₃

Molality is defined as number of moles of HNO₃ present per 1000 g of water.

Molality of HNO₃ = $\frac{15.55 x 1000}{440.2}$

= 35.325 molal

What is the energy released in this β − β − nuclear reaction 40 19 K → 40 20 C a + 0 − 1 e 19 40 K → 20 40 C a + − 1 0 e ? (The

Effectus [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given nuclear reaction:

$_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca}+_{-1}^{0}\textrm{e}$

We are given:

Mass of $_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}$ = 39.963998 u

Mass of $_{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca}$ = 39.962591 u

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

$\Delta m=\text{Mass of reactants}-\text{Mass of products}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta m=(39.963998-39.962591)=0.001407u$

To calculate the energy released, we use the equation:

$E=\Delta mc^2\\E=(0.001407u)\times c^2$

$E=(0.001407u)\times (931.5MeV)$ (Conversion factor: $1u=931.5MeV/c^2$ )

$E=1.3106MeV$

Hence, the energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.
