Critical mass can be achieved by compressing the sample of americium-241 and also removing the deflective shield surrounding the sample.

<h3>What is critical mass?</h3>

Critical mass of a nuclear reaction is the mass of nuclear fuel which is just sufficient for a nuclear fission reaction to proceed and be sustained.

In order to achieve critical mass, the density of the fuel is increased by compressing the sample of americium-241 and also remove the deflective shield surrounding the sample.

A chemist wants to make 6.5 L of a 0.340 M CaCl2 solution. Part A What mass of CaCl2 (in g) should the chemist use? Express your
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 245 grams

Explanation:

Data

Volume 6.5 L

Molarity = 0.34

mass of CaCl₂ = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of CaCl₂

molar mass = (1 x 40) + (2 x 35.5)

                   = 40 + 71

                   = 111 g

2.- Convert the grams to moles

                       111 g of CaCl₂ -------------- 1 mol

                         x                   ---------------0.34 mol

                         x = (0.34 x 111) / 1

                         x = 37.74 g

3.- Calculate the total mass

                        37.74 g ------------------ 1 L

                            x        ------------------ 6.5 L

                            x = (6.5 x 37.74) / 1

                            x = 245.31

Which statement describes why sodium reacts more vigorously than magnesium to hydrochloric acid? Refer to the periodic table. Ci
lions [1.4K]

Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.

<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>
  • Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
  • Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.

  • Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.

Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.

Calculate the number of ammonia molecules in 3.9 g.
disa [49]
•3.9g of ammonia
•molar mass of ammonia = 17.03g/mol

1st you have to covert grams to moles by dividing the mass of ammonia with the molar mass:

(3.9 g)/ (17.03g/mol) = 0.22900763mols

Then convert the moles to molecules by multiplying it with Avogadro’s number:

Avogadro’s number: 6.022 x 10^23


0.22900763mols x (6.022 x 10^23 molecs/mol)
= 1.38 x 10^23 molecules
