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 cylinder is filled with 10.0L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 209.kPa. T
disa [49]

Answer : The final pressure of the gas will be, 26.8 kPa

Explanation :

According to the Boyle's law, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature of the gas and the number of moles of gas.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

PV=k

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of the gas = 209 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of the gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of the gas = 10.0 L

V_2 = final volume of the gas = 78.0 L

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the final pressure of the gas.

209kPa\times 10.0L=P_2\times 78.0L

P_2=26.8kPa

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas will be, 26.8 kPa

Calculate the molarity of each of the following
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a. 1.21M

b. 0.119M

c. 0.00496M

Explanation:

Molarity, M, is an unit of concentration defined as the ratio between moles of solute and liters of solution:

a. 4.35 mol LiCl / 3.60L = 1.21M

b. 29.43gC6H12O6 * (1mol / 180.16g) = 0.1634moles / 1.37L = 0.119M

<em>Molar mass C6H12O6: 180.16g/mol</em>

c. 34.5mg NaCl = 0.0345g * (1mol / 58.44g) = 5.9x10⁻⁴moles / 0.1191L = 0.00496M

A solution of malonic acid, H2C3H2O4 , was standardized by titration with 0.1000 M NaOH solution. If 21.17 mL of the NaOH soluti
MrRa [10]

Answer: The molarity of the malonic acid solution is 0.08335 M

Explanation:

H_2C_3H_2O_4 +2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2C_3H_2O_4+2H_2O

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is H_2C_3H_2O_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=?\\V_1=12.70mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.1000M\\V_2=21.17mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2\times M_1\times 12.70=1\times 0.1000\times 21.17\\\\M_1=0.08335M

Thus the molarity of the malonic acid solution is 0.08335 M

One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, in which iron ore is converted to cast iron, is Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2 Su
Tpy6a [65]

Answer : The percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample is 87.94 %

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

Fe_2O3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

First we have to calculate the mass of Fe.

\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe}{\text{Molar mass of }Fe}

Molar mass of Fe = 55.8 g/mole

\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{1.79\times 10^3kg}{55.8g/mole}=\frac{1.79\times 10^3\times 1000g}{55.8g/mole}=3.15\times 10^4mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of Fe_2O_3

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of Fe produced from 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 3.15\times 10^4mole of Fe produced from \frac{3.15\times 10^4}{2}=15750 mole of Fe_2O_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of Fe_2O_3

\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=\text{ Moles of }Fe_2O_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3

Molar mass of Fe_2O_3 = 159.69 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=(15750moles)\times (159.69g/mole)=2.515\times 10^6g=2.515\times 10^3kg

Now we have to calculate the percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample.

Mass of original sample = 2.86\times 10^3kg

\text{Percent purity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100

\text{Percent purity}=\frac{2.515\times 10^3kg}{2.86\times 10^3kg}\times 100=87.94\%

Therefore, the percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample is 87.94 %
