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)

There are three competing factors at play here: 1. The effective nuclear charge 2. The size of the atom and the force of attract
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

These three factors are required for ionization potential or ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization potential refers to the amount of energy which is required for the removal of outermost electron of the atom. If the atom size is big so the outermost electron is far from the nucleus and low energy is required for its removal due to lower force of attraction between nucleus and outermost electron. If the nuclear charge is higher, so the electron is tightly held by the nucleus and require more energy for its removal. Nuclear charge means number of protons present in the nucleus.

4.81*10^24 atoms of lithium
enyata [817]

Answer:

Mass = 55.52 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of Li = 4.81×10²⁴ atom

Number of grams = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For Li:

4.81×10²⁴ atom × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atom

8 moles

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 8 mol × 6.94 g/mol

Mass = 55.52 g
