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.

Can Magnesium hydroxide be used as the base for this titration? Why or why not? 5. Describe the procedure that you will follow t
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

A.

Yes

B.

2KHP + Mg(OH)2 = 2KOH + Mg(HP)2

KHP is an acidic salt which reacts with Mg(OH)2 which is a base via double displacement/decomposition reaction.

C.

• One approach is to prepare the solution volumetrically using KHP crystals.

• Preparing 1 liter of 0.1 M KHP you would add 0.1 moles of KHP

Molar mass of KHP(C8H5KO4)

= (12*8) + (5*1) + 39 + (16*4)

= 204 g/mol

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 20.4/204

= 0.1 mol.

• This is added to a 1 liter volumetric flask, add deionized water until near the fill line, stopper and mix

D.

Number of moles = molar concentration * volume

= 0.025 * 0.100

= 0.0025 mol

Equation for the reaction:

Ba(OH)2 + 2KHP --> Ba(KP)2 + 2H2O

1 mole of Ba(OH)2 reacted with 2 moles of KHP. By stoichiometry,

Number of moles of Ba(OH)2 = 0.0025/2

= 0.00125 mol.

Molarity = number of moles/volume

= 0.00125/0.01

= 0.125 M of Ba(OH)2.

What is the volume in liters of 321 g of liquid with a density of 0.84 g/mL
Rasek [7]
Density is weight by volume.   

First.  If you divide the weight by density you can find the volume

Second you must convert the ML in to Liters.

\frac{321 \frac{g}{1}}{0.84 \frac{g}{mL}} = \frac{321(g)(mL)}{0.84g}=\frac{321mL}{0.84}=382.14mL

1L=1000ml

\frac{1L}{1000mL}

(382.14mL)( \frac{1L}{1000mL})= \frac{(382.14mL)(L)}{1000mL} =\frac{382.14L}{1000}=0.38214L

0.38214 Liters.
