ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
6 0
A nuclear reaction in which a heavy nuclear splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle with the release of energy- fission

A nuclear reaction in which atomic nucleus with the release of energy-fusion

The energy harnessed in nuclei is released in nuclear reaction. Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei and fusion is the combining of nuclei to form a bigger and heavier nucleus

Question 3 (1 point) The extinction coefficient for copper sulfate in aqueous solution is 12 M-1.cm-1 at 800 nm. If the absorban
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The concentration of the copper sulfate solution is 83 mM.

Explanation:

The absorbance of a copper sulfate solution can be calculated using Beer-Lambert Law:

A = ε . c . <em>l</em>

where

ε is the extinction coefficient of copper sulfate (ε = 12 M⁻¹.cm⁻¹)

c is its molar concentration (what we are looking for)

l is the pathlength (0.50 cm)

We can use this expression to find the molarity of this solution:

c=\frac{A}{\epsilon.l } =\frac{0.5}{12M^{-1}cm^{-1}0.50cm  } =0.083M=83mM

(b) The conductivity of a 0.01 mol dm–3 solution of a monobasic organic acid in water is 5.07 × 10–2 S m–1. If the molar conduct
Zarrin [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

   \Lambda^{o}_{m}(NaCl) = 1.264 \times 10^{-2}

   \Lambda^{o}_{m}(H-O=C-ONO) = 1.046 \times 10^{-2}

   \Lambda^{o}_{m}(HCl) = 4.261 \times 10^{-2}

Conductivity of monobasic acid is 5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}

     Concentration = 0.01 mol/dm^{3}

Therefore, molar conductivity (\Lambda_{m}) of monobasic acid is calculated as follows.

                 \Lambda_{m} = \frac{conductivity}{concentration}

                                  = \frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{0.01 mol/dm^{3}}

                                 = \frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{0.01 mol \times 10^{3}}

                                 = 5.07 \times 10^{-3} S m^{2} mol^{-1}

Also, \Lambda^{o}_{m} = \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(HCl)} + \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(H-O=C-ONO)} - \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(NaCl)}

                            = 4.261 \times 10^{-2} + 1.046 \times 10^{-2} - 1.264 \times 10^{-2}

                            = 4.043 \times 10^{-2} S m^{2} mol^{-1}

Relation between degree of dissociation and molar conductivity is as follows.

               \alpha = \frac{\Lambda_{m}}{\Lambda^{o}_{m}}

                             = \frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{4.043 \times 10^{-2} S m^{2} mol^{-1}}

                             = 0.1254

Whereas relation between acid dissociation constant and degree of dissociation is as follows.

                     K = \frac{c \times \alpha^{2}}{1 - \alpha}

Putting the values into the above formula we get the following.

                     K = \frac{c \times \alpha^{2}}{1 - \alpha}

                        = \frac{0.01 \times (0.1254)^{2}}{1 - 0.1254}

                        = 0.017973 \times 10^{-2}

                       = 1.7973 \times 10^{-4}

Hence, the acid dissociation constant is 1.7973 \times 10^{-4}.

Also, relation between pK_{a} and K_{a} is as follows.

                 pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

                              = -log (1.7973 \times 10^{-4})

                              = 3.7454

Therefore, value of pK_{a} is 3.7454.

What does density have to do with the cycling of matter in earths interior
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The rocks of higher density inter the mantle. Due to density they sink and melt. When they melt the density decreases and rises to the top. They then are recycled through volcanoes.

Why is a quantitative observation more useful than a non- quantitative one? Which of the following are quantitative?
daser333 [38]
A quantitative observation is not necessarily more useful than a non-quantitative one. However, quantitative observations do allow one to find trends.

(a), the sun rising is a non-quantitative observation.

(b), knowledge of the numerical relationship between the weight on the Moon and on Earth, is a quantitative observation.

(c), watching ice float on water does not involve a measurement; therefore, it must be a qualitative observation.

(d) the fact that we know that the water pump won’t work for depths more than 34 feet makes it quantitative. Again, seeing numbers is a giveaway that it’s a quantitative <span>observation. Quantitative is where you deal with numbers.</span>
