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 is the mass of silver (107.87 g/mol) produced by the reaction of 3.00 moles of copper with 3.00 moles of silver nitrate?Cu
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: 323.61 g of Ag will be produced

Explanation:

The given balanced chemical reaction is :

Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of AgNO_3 require 1 mole of Cu

Thus 3.00 moles of  AgNO_3 will require=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.00=1.50moles  of Cu

Thus AgNO_3 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

As 2 moles of AgNO_3 give =  2 moles of Ag

Thus 3.00 moles of AgNO_3 give =\frac{2}{2}\times 3.00=3.00moles  of Ag

Mass of Ag=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=3.00moles\times 107.87g/mol=323.61g

Thus 323.61 g of Ag will be produced from the given moles of both reactants.

2. Sitting on a bench top are several samples: lithium metal (d = 0.53 g/mL), gold (d = 19.3 g/mL), aluminum (d = 2.70 g/mL), an
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The sample of lithium occupies the largest volume.

Explanation:

Given the densities for the four elements, we have the expression d=\frac{m}{V} that shows the relationship between mass and Volume to express the density of an element.

For each element we have:

d_{lithium}=\frac{m_{lithium}}{V_{lithium}}=0.53g/mL

d_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{V_{gold}}=19.3g/mL

d_{aluminum}=\frac{m_{aluminum}}{V_{aluminum}}=2.70g/mL

d_{lead}=\frac{m_{lead}}{V_{lead}}=11.3g/mL

The problem says that all the samples have the same mass, so:

m_{lithium}=m_{gold}=m_{aluminum}=m_{lead}=m

it means that m is a constant

Now, solving for the Volume in each element and with m as a constant, we have:

V_{lithium}=\frac{m}{d_{lithium}}

V_{lithium}=\frac{1}{0.53\frac{g}{mL}} *m

V_{lithium}=1.88\frac{mL}{g}*m

V_{gold}=\frac{m}{d_{gold}}

V_{gold}=\frac{1}{19.3\frac{g}{mL}} *m

V_{gold}=5.18*10^{-2}\frac{mL}{g}*m

V_{aluminum}=\frac{m}{d_{aluminum}}

V_{aluminum}=\frac{1}{2.70\frac{g}{mL}} *m

V_{aluminum}=3.70*10^{-1}\frac{mL}{g}*m

V_{lead}=\frac{m}{d_{lead}}

V_{lead}=\frac{1}{11.3\frac{g}{mL}} *m

V_{lead}=8.85*10^{-2}\frac{mL}{g}*m

If we assume m = 1g, we find that:

V_{lithium}=1.88mL

V_{gold}=5.18*10^{-2}mL

V_{aluminum}=3.70*10^{-1}mL

V_{lead}=8.85*10^{-2}mL

So we can see that the sample of lithium occupies the largest volume with 1.88mL

Note that m only can take positive values, so if you change the value of m, always will be the lithium which occupies the largest volume.

Aides in the burning of materials. Needed for humans to breathe.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Oxygen.

Explanation:

Oxygen is a chemical element that aides in the burning of materials and it is needed for humans to breathe.

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, the intermediary products are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage through the breathing of oxygen used to obtain energy from the food ingested.

Hence, all cells in living organisms require oxygen and glucose to release energy.

Does covalency fail in explaining the formation of BeCl2 and PCl5? Explain
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Yes , covalency fails to explain the formation of BeCl₂ and PCl₅.

Explanation:

covalent bonds are formed between two atoms  by sharing of outermost electrons in order to attain octet for attaining stability . To octet means to attain 8 electrons in their outermost orbit .

BeCl₂ :

Be has two electrons in its outermost orbit and each of Cl has 7 electrons .

Each of Cl shares one electron each with each of two electrons of Be . Cl atoms attain 8 electrons as octet . But Be attains only 4 electrons ( 2 of Be and 2 from Cl atoms ) . Hence octet of Be is not attained . So covalency fails in the formation of BeCl₂ .

PCl₅ :

P has 5 electrons in the outermost orbit . Each of these electrons shares with one  electron from  each of Cl atoms . Thus Cl attains octel state ( 8 electrons ) but P attains 10 electrons ( 5 + 5 ) , 5 of P and 5 from 5 Cl atoms .

Hence Octet of P is not attained . Hence covalency fails in the formation of PCl₅ .
