The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal. T
SVEN [57.7K]

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear Fission is the process in which splitting of a nucleus takes place that releases free neutrons and lighter nuclei. The fission of heavy elements like "Uranium is highly exothermic" and releases "200 million eV" compared to the energy that is released by burning coal which gives a few eV.

In the given example, it is obvious that the energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than that of the energy released from 3 grams of coal because the amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only \frac{1}{10}^{th} part of the original nuclei is converted to energy.

A ground water tank has its height 2m. Calculate the pressure at its bottom when it is completely filled with water.​
Law Incorporation [45]

The pressure at the bottom : 19600 N/m²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

A ground water tank has its height 2m

Required

The pressure at its bottom

Solution

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of a liquid.  

The weight of a liquid is affected by the force of gravity.  

The hydrostatic pressure of a liquid can be formulated:  

\large{\boxed{\bold {P_h ~ = ~ \rho.g.h}}

Ph = hydrostatic pressure (N / m², Pa)  

ρ = density of liquid (kg / m³)  

g = acceleration due to gravity (m / s²)  

h = height / depth of liquid surface (m)  

ρ = density of water (kg / m³) = 1000

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/ sec²

The pressure

\tt P=1000\times 9.8\times 2=19600~N/m^2

Functional groups create active sites in molecules. The polar part of a molecule that can hydrogen bond to water is said be hydr
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Polar/Hydrophilic

Explanation:

Fluorine, Nitrogen and Oxygen are strong electronegative atoms and by definition, Electronegativity is the amount of pull or the high affinity of an atom to electrons.

Polar bond occurs when there is a high difference between the electronegativity value of both atoms that take part in the bond.

A polar molecule has a net dipole from the distribution of its positive and negayive charges. Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic (in chemistry, Polar) are terms dependent on the overall distribution of charge in its molecule.

Therefore, bonds between C-N, C-O and C-Cl are polar covalent bonds a d this is because of the jigh electronegativity possessed by Nitrogen, Oxygen and Chlorine.
