Imagine that you have many U-235 atoms and you fire a neutron at one of them. What do you think will happen?

Damm [24]2 years ago

The correct answer is Release of large amount of heat and radiation.

U-235, which makes up just over 0.7% of natural uranium, is relatively uncommon; uranium is nearly 100 times more frequent than silver.Because uranium-235, one of the radioactive metal's isotopes, is the only naturally occurring isotope capable of supporting a nuclear fission process, radioactive metal is special. Nuclear power facilities, as well as the nuclear reactors that power ships and submarines, can be powered by uranium that has been "enriched" to have a higher proportion of U-235. In nuclear weapons, it can also be applied. Examples of extremely unstable fission fragments produced by uranium-235 fission events caused by neutron absorption include the barium and krypton nuclei. These pieces nearly instantly split into barium-144 and krypton-89 by releasing three neutrons between them.

58. Explain why each successive ionization of an electron
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

It's because removal of electron from an atom, reduces the size of an atom.

Explanation:

When an electron is removed from an atom, it becomes an ion and in this case it will become a postive ion.

When an electron is removed from an atom, the charge balance of an atom is disturbed and positive charge increases in comparison to the negative charge. This results in increase nuclear (positive) charge which exerts greater attraction on the remaining electrons and as a result the remaining electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus and in this way the atomic size is decreased. Due to this increased nuclear attraction and reduced atomic size, it bcomes difficult to remove more electeon from the positively charged ion of reduced size. This is the reason that each successive ionization of electron requires a greater amount of energy.

The ionization energy has inverse relation with the size or radius of an atom. This also justifies the reason that why each successive ionization of an electron requires greater amount of energy.

In an chemicalbreaction involving Fe and S, it was found that 45.2 g of Fes was produced. If the percent yield of the reaction i
saw5 [17]

Answer:

47.8 g

Explanation:

Remember the equation for percent yield:

% yield = actual / theoretical

We're given two of the values in the question, so plug n' play:

0.945 = 45.2 / theoretical

theoretical = 47.8 g

Keep in mind you can use mass here without converting to moles because we're working with products only. If you were given a mass of reactants, you would need to convert to moles and using a balanced chemical equation find the corresponding moles of product produced.

If 40.0 grams of magnesium is reacted with an excess of nitric acid. 3.3 g of hydrogen gas will be produced.

<h3>What is Stoichiometry ?</h3>

Stoichiometry helps us use the balanced chemical equation to measure quantitative relationships and it is to calculate the amounts of products and reactants that are given in a reaction.

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

Now we have to write the balanced equation

Mg + 2HNO₃  → Mg(NO₃)₂ + H₂

According to Stoichiometry

40.9\ \text{g Mg} \times \frac{1\ \text{mol Mg}}{24.31\ \text{g Mg}} \times \frac{1\ \text{mol}\ H_2}{1\ \text{mol Mg}} \times \frac{2.02\ g\ H_2}{1\ \text{mol}\ H_2}

= 3.3 g H₂

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that If 40.0 grams of magnesium is reacted with an excess of nitric acid. 3.3 g of hydrogen gas will be produced.
