Answer:

The energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV

Explanation:

To solve this question, we have to calculate the binding energy of each isotope and then take the difference.

The mass of Tritium = 3.016049 amu.

So,the binding energy of Tritium = 3.016049 *931.494 MeV

= 2809.43155 MeV.

The mass of Helium 3 = 3.016029 amu.

So, the binding energy of Helium 3 = 3.016029 * 931.494 MeV

= 2809.41292 MeV.

The difference between the binding energy of Tritium and the binding energy of Helium is: 32809.43155 - 2809.412 = 0.01863 MeV

1 MeV = 1000keV.

Thus, 0.01863 MeV = 0.01863*1000keV = 18.63 keV.

So, the energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV.

Solid chromium (III) reacts with oxygen gas to form solid Cr2O3. What is this type of reaction?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

.081 g of O2

Explanation:

4Cr + 3O2 -----> 2Cr2O3

.175 g Cr x [1 mole / 52.0 g] x [2 moles Cr2O3 / 4 moles Cr] x [152 g / 1 mole] = .256 g of Cr2O3

.175 g Cr x [1 mole / 52.0 g] x [3 moles O2 / 4 moles Cr] x [32 g / 1 mole] = .081 g of O2

You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar.

enyata [817]

Given that

1 skvarnick = 45 quibs

3 quibs = 7 sleps

Now if we have 45 quibs it means we have you have one skvarnick

three quibs = 7 sleps

so one quib = 7/3 sleps

so 45 quibs = 7 X 45 / 3 = 105 sleps

What volume (mL) of the partially neutralized stomach acid was neutralized by NaOH during the titration? (portion of 25.00 mL sa

almond37 [142]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

What volume (mL) of the partially neutralized stomach acid having concentration 2 M was neutralized by 0.1 M NaOH during the titration? (portion of 25.00 mL NaOH sample was used; this was the HCl remaining after the antacid tablet did it's job)

Answer: The volume of HCl neutralized is 1.25 mL

Explanation:

To calculate the volume 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 stomach acid which is HCl

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

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=2M\\V_1=?mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.1M\\V_2=25mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 2\times V_1=1\times 0.1\times 25\\\\V_1=\frac{1\times 0.1\times 25}{1\times 2}=1.25mL$

Hence, the volume of HCl neutralized is 1.25 mL
