Answer:

mass of U-235  = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)

Explanation:

1 atom can produce -------------------------> 3.20 x 10^-11 J energy

x atoms can produce ----------------------> 1.30 x 10^12 J energy

x = 1.30 x 10^12 / 3.20 x 10^-11

x = 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

1 mol ----------------------> 6.023 x 10^23 atoms

y mol ----------------------> 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

y = 0.0675 moles

mass of U-235 = 0.0675 x 235 = 15.8625

mass of U-235  = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)

Explain how creativity can play a role in the construction of scientific questions and hypotheses.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Scientific questions and hypotheses come up frequently while one is engaged in investigating a scientific phenomenon such  as natural geological phenomena as may occur in geological mapping in the field. For example, there may be a question does this canyon or deeply incised valley which is quite straight follow a weakness in the earth's crust like a major fault or the direction of bedding in well bedded sedimentary rocks. In a particular topographic area, some hypotheses which may be developed is that valleys follow geological structure whereas ridges follow resistant rocks like quartzites or quartz sandstones or in the ocean, points or capes may represent resistant quartz sandstones and bays may represent weak soft shales recessively weathering

david’s mom wants to calculate how much it will cost to drive from los angeles, ca, to san francisco, ca. gas costs $4.00 a gall
grin007 [14]
She needs to know the distance from LA to SF.

Call that distance x. Then you can calculate the cost from:

# of gallons consumed: x miles / 38 miles/ gallon = (x/38) gallons

After that,

cost = # gallons * cost per gallon = (x/38) gallons * 4 $/gallon = 4x/38 $

A student collects 350 mL of a vapor at a temperature of 67°C. The atmospheric pressure at the time of collection is 0.900 atm.
Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is very similar to the other that you put before, so, we'll use the same principle here.

The ideal gas equation: PV = nRT

Where:

P: pressure in atm

V: volume in L

T: Temperature in K.

n: moles

R: Gas constant (In this case, we'll use 0.082 L atm/K)

to get the molar mass of the gas, we need to know the moles, and with the mass, we can know the molar mass. However we can put the ideal gas expression with the molar mass in this way:

we know that n is mole so:

n = g/MM

If we put this in the idea gases expression we have:

PV = gRT/MM

Solving for MM we have:

MM = gRT/PV

Now, let's convert the temperature and volume to K and L respectively:

T = 67 + 273 = 340 K

V = 350 / 1000 = 0.35 L

Now all we have to do is put all the data into the expression:

MM = 0.79 * 0.082 * 340 / 0.9 * 0.35

MM = 22.0252 / 0.315 = 69.92 g/mol rounded 70 g/mol

Now, the closest answer of your options would be 72 g/mol. This could be easily explained because we do not use all the significant figures of all numbers, including the gas constant of R. However, all the work, calculations and procedure is correct and fine, and we only have a minimum range of 2 units.
