Answer:

9.94 mL, the volume of ethanol needed

Explanation:

The reaction is:

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(l)

We convert the mass of the formed product to moles:

15 g . 1mol / 44g = 0.341 moles

2 moles of dioxide are produced by 1 mol of ethanol, in order to stoichiometry.

Therefore, 0.341 moles of CO₂ must be produced by (0.341. 1) / 2 = 0.1705 moles of alcohol.

We convert the moles to mass, and then, the mass to volume by the use of density.

0.1705 mol . 46 g / 1 mol = 7.84 g of ethanol

Ethanol density = Ethanol mass /Ethanol volume

Ethanol volume = Ethanol mass /Ethanol density → 7.84 g /0.789 g/mL =

9.94 mL

Answer:

We need 9.95 mL of ethanol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Density ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

Mass CO2 produced = 15.0 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l)

Step 3: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 15.0 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.341 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles ethanol

For 1 mol ethanol, 3 moles we need O2 to produce 2 moles CO2 and 3 moles H2O

For 0.341 moles CO2 we need 0.341 /2 = 0.1705 moles ethanol

Step 5: Calculate mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = moles ethanol * molar mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = 0.1705 moles * 46.07 g/mol

Mass ethanol = 7.85 grams

Step 6: Calculate volume ethanol

Volume ethanol = mass / density

Volume = 7.85 grams / 0.789 g/mL

Volume= 9.95 mL

We need 9.95 mL of ethanol

From the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆ , find the number of steps needed to produce a sample of the enriched f
Dafna11 [192]

The number of steps required to manufacture a sample of the 3.0 mole%  ²³⁵U enriched fuel used in many nuclear reactors from the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆. ²³⁵U occurs naturally in an abundance of 0.72% are :  mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication and electricity generation.

<h3>What is Uranium abundance ? </h3>
  • The majority of the 500 commercial nuclear power reactors that are currently in operation or being built across the world need their fuel to be enriched in the U-235 isotope.
  • This enrichment is done commercially using centrifuges filled with gaseous uranium.
  • A laser-excitation-based method is being developed in Australia.
  • Uranium oxide needs to be changed into a fluoride before enrichment so that it can be treated as a gas at low temperature.
  • Uranium enrichment is a delicate technology from the perspective of non-proliferation and needs to be subject to strict international regulation. The capacity for world enrichment is vastly overbuilt.

The two isotopes of uranium that are most commonly found in nature are U-235 and U-238. The 'fission' or breaking of the U-235 atoms, which releases energy in the form of heat, is how nuclear reactors generate energy. The primary fissile isotope of uranium is U-235.

The U-235 isotope makes up 0.7% of naturally occurring uranium. The U-238 isotope, which has a small direct contribution to the fission process, makes up the majority of the remaining 99.3%. (though it does so indirectly by the formation of fissile isotopes of plutonium). A physical procedure called isotope separation is used to concentrate (or "enrich") one isotope in comparison to others. The majority of reactors are light water reactors (of the PWR and BWR kinds) and need their fuel to have uranium enriched by 0.7% to 3-5% U-235.

There is some interest in increasing the level of enrichment to around 7%, and even over 20% for particular special power reactor fuels, as high-assay LEU (HALEU).

Although uranium-235 and uranium-238 are chemically identical, they have different physical characteristics, most notably mass. The U-235 atom has an atomic mass of 235 units due to its 92 protons and 143 neutrons in its nucleus. The U-238 nucleus has 146 neutrons—three more than the U-235 nucleus—in addition to its 92 protons, giving it a mass of 238 units.

The isotopes may be separated due to the mass difference between U-235 and U-238, which also makes it possible to "enrich" or raise the proportion of U-235. This slight mass difference is used, directly or indirectly, in all current and historical enrichment procedures.

Some reactors employ naturally occurring uranium as its fuel, such as the British Magnox and Canadian Candu reactors. (By contrast, to manufacture at least 90% U-235, uranium needed for nuclear bombs would need to be enriched in facilities created just for that purpose.)

Uranium oxide from the mine is first transformed into uranium hexafluoride in a separate conversion plant because enrichment operations need the metal to be in a gaseous state at a low temperature.

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?​
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Find</u>

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

<u>Step 4: Convert</u>

<u />745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} ) = 3.71544 mol Hg

<u>Step 5: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg
