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)

What data should be plotted to show that experimental concentration data fits a first-order reaction? A) 1/[reactant] vs. time B
natita [175]

Answer:

C) In[reactant] vs. time

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law equation is:

A = A_{0}e^{-kt}

where A(0) = initial concentration of the reactant

A = concentration after time 't'

k = rate constant

Taking ln on both sides gives:

ln[A] = ln[A]_{0}-kt

Therefore a plot of ln[A] vs t should give a straight line with a slope = -k

Hence, ln[reactant] vs time should be plotted for a first order reaction.

How does a sample of hydrogen at 10 °C compare to a sample of hydrogen at 350 K?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: -

The hydrogen at 10 °C has slower-moving molecules than the sample at 350 K.

Explanation: -

Temperature of the hydrogen gas first sample = 10 °C.

Temperature in kelvin scale of the first sample = 10 + 273 = 283 K

For the second sample, the temperature is 350 K.

Thus we see the second sample of the hydrogen gas more temperature than the first sample.

We know from the kinetic theory of gases that

The kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with the increase in temperature of the gas. The speed of the movement of gas molecules also increase with the increase in kinetic energy.

So higher the temperature of a gas, more is the kinetic energy and more is the movement speed of the gas molecules.

Thus the hydrogen at 10 °C has slower-moving molecules than the sample at 350 K.

C2H2 +<br> 02 --&gt;<br> CO2 +<br> H20
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation: This reaction is called a synthesis reaction. This is because a synthesis reaction is when two or more reactants combine/react together to form a single product. The two reactants carbon (C) and oxygen (O2) reacted together to form one single product: carbon dioxide (CO2)
