Answer:

The answer is C-

Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

In Uranium fission reaction, a neutron collides uranium atom splitting into smaller atoms and energy, some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

The process keep repeating itself again and again.

I hope this helps.

A solution forms when the attractive ___ between the solute and solvent are ___ in strength to the solvent-solvent and solute-so
Trava [24]

Answer: A solution forms when the attractive _forces_ between the solute and solvent are _similar/higher_ in strength to the solvent-solvent and solute-solute attractions and are therefore able to replace them.

Explanation: Intermolecular forces between solute and solvent must be able to match or exceed the natural intramolecular forces between the solvent-solvent atoms/molecules and solute-solute atoms/molecules.

This is where the solubility law of 'like dissolves like (polar dissolves polar and likewise)' comes into play. Only polar compounds can form such attractive forces with fellow polar compounds and the same story goes for non-polar compounds.

You mix 265.0 mL of 1.20 M lead(II) nitrate with 293 mL of 1.55 M potassium iodide. The lead(II) iodide is insoluble. What amoun
slava [35]

Answer:

105 grams PbI₂

Explanation:

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2KI => 2KNO₃ + PbI₂(s)

moles Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.265L(1.2M) = 0.318 mole

moles KI = 0.293(1.55M) = 0.454 mole => Limiting Reactant

moles PbI₂ from mole KI in excess Pb(NO₃)₂ = 1/2(0.454 mole) = 0.227 mol PbI₂

grams PbI₂ = 0.227 mol PbI₂ x 461 g/mole = 104.68 g ≈ 105 g PbI₂(s)

A cube of aluminum (density = 2.70 g/ml) has a mass of 17.2 g. what is the edge length of the cube?
Helen [10]
<span>The formula for mass, which is mass = density x volume, can be rewritten as volume = mass/density. We can deduce the volume of the cube as the mass and density are given: 17.2g/2.7g/ml = 6.37ml. Now that the volume of the cube is known, we can deduce the edge length. Volume = length x width x height, so 6.37 = X^3. We then take the cube root of 6.37 to discover the value of x, which will be the edge length of the cube. The edge length of the cube is 1.85 cm.</span>
