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)

1. The reaction below describes cellular respiration. Which compounds are the reactants and which are the
swat32

Answer:

C₆H₁₂O₆ and O₂ are reactant.

CO₂ and H₂O are products.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  →  6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Steps involve in anaerobic respiration are:

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It involve the breakdown of one glucose molecule into pyruvate and 2ATP.

Fermentation

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced, however carbon dioxide is released in this step.

Express the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen elements for the formation of water in word equation and chemical equa
White raven [17]

Answer:

Two moles of hydrogen gas combine with one mole of oxygen gas to produce two moles of water.

2H_{2} O + O_{2}  -> 2H_{2}O

Explanation:

This is the required amount of each element to synthesize water. The equation has been balanced using coefficients.

The first two steps in the industrial synthesis of nitric acid produce nitrogen dioxide from ammonia: 2N0(g) +02(g) 2NO2 (g) The
Tresset [83]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

The first two steps in the industrial synthesis of nitric acid produce nitrogen dioxide from ammonia:

Step 1 : 4NH_3(g)+5O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 4NO(g)+6H_2O(g)

Step 2 :  2NO(g) +O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2 (g)

The net reaction is:

4NH_3(g)+7O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 4NO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K_1 and K_2. If you need to include any physical constants, be sure you use their standard symbols

Answer:

Equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K_1 \& K_2:

K=K_1\time (K_2)^2

Explanation:

Step 1 : 4NH_3(g)+5O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 4NO(g)+6H_2O(g)

Expression of an equilibrium constant can be written as:

K_1=\frac{[NO]^4[H_2O]^6}{[NH_3]^4[O_2]^5}

Step 2 :  2NO(g) +O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2 (g)

Expression of an equilibrium constant can be written as:

K_2=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[NO]^2[O_2]}

The net reaction is:

4NH_3(g)+7O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 4NO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

Expression of an equilibrium constant can be written as:

K=\frac{[NO_2]^4[H_2O]^6}{[NH_3]^4[O_2]^7}

Multiply and divide [NO]^4;

K=\frac{[NO_2]^4[H_2O]^6}{[NH_3]^4[O_2]^7}\times \frac{[NO]^4}{[NO]^4}

K=\frac{[NO]^4[H_2O]^6}{[NH_3]^4[O_2]^7}\times \frac{[NO_2]^4}{[NO]^4}

K=K_1\times \frac{[NO_2]^4}{[O_2]^2[NO]^4}

K=K_1\times (\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[O_2]^1[NO]^2})^2

K=K_1\time (K_2)^2

So , the equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K_1 \& K_2:

K=K_1\time (K_2)^2

What is Darwin's name for species that do not appear to have changed for millions of years?
ioda

Since, the options have not been given the question is incomplete.

What is Darwin's name for species that do not appear to have changed for millions of years?

a.

Dinosaurs

b.

Living fossils

c.

Old souls

d.

Ancient moderns

Answer: b. Living fossil

Explanation:

In 1859 Charles Darwin proposed the term living fossil, that means a species or group of species that had not changed in terms of evolutionary context thus can be useful in tracing the extinct or previously existing forms of life. The examples of the living fossils are horseshoe crabs, ginkgo (Conifers) and tuatara. These group of animals were existed unchanged in the Ordovician, Permian, and Triassic periods respectively with few surviving species.
