Nuclear power plants produce energy using fission. One common fuel, uranium-235, produces energy through the fission reaction 23

5 92U+10n→fission fragments+neutrons+3.20×10−11 J/atom 92235U+01n→fission fragments+neutrons+3.20×10−11 J/atom What mass of uranium-235 is needed to produce the same amount of energy as the fusion reaction in Part A?

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)

Which of the following best describes solids?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
In my opinion I would pick D. 

Multiple answers could be chosen, just due to the fact that a solid is nothing more than just an object that cannot change it's physical shape into an object; just as water would. a solid can have a low density; such as paper, plastics, or even just a piece of wood. 

But think of a block of ice. You can break it, and crush it. It cannot be formed into any other shape. If you did break it, it only would make more ice fragments. And it's next phase is a liquid; if it were to be melted.

If the ph of a solution is 6.1 what is the concentration of h+ ions in the solution
Drupady [299]

Answer:

10^{-6}   \frac{mol}{L}

Explanation:

Comparing to the solution consisting a pH of 5 containing 10^{-5}  \frac{mol}{L} of hydrogen ions, a solution having a pH of 6 consists of 10^{-6}  \frac{mol}{L} of hydrogen ions. A solution having a pH of 7 too will have a pH of 10^{-7}  \frac{mol}{L}.

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction: 2HgO (s) ?2Hg (l) +O2 (g) =?H182.kJ Use the information t
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A. endothermic.

A. Yes, absorbed.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)  ΔH = 182 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive (ΔH > 0), which means that the reaction is endothermic.

182 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of HgO react (molar mass 216.59 g/mol). The heat absorbed when 72.8 g of HgO react is:

72.8g.\frac{1mol}{216.59g} .\frac{182kJ}{2mol} =30.6kJ/mol
