Over the last several decades, scientists have addressed the problem of nonrenewable natural resources such as fossil fuels. Hum

ans are using fossil fuels at a rapid rate and scientists believe that one day we will run out of them. To solve this problem, research has been conducted on alternative energy sources. One alternative energy source is nuclear energy. Although nuclear energy is a good solution to this problem, there are concerns.
All BUT ONE of these describe a concern about nuclear energy.
A) presence of radioactive waste
B) little if any carbon emissions released into the air
C) contamination risk when transporting radioactive materials
D) thermal pollution from water released into nearby environment

If we react 30 grams of ethane (C2H6 ) with 320 grams of oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide would we make
V125BC [204]

The mass of carbon dioxide that would be made by reacting 30 grams C2H6 with 320 grams O2 will be 80 grams

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C_2H_6+7O_2---4CO_2+6H_2O

The mole ratio of C2H6 to O2 is 2:7.

  • Mole of 30 grams C2H6 = mass/molar mass

                                        = 30/30

                                       = 1 mole

  • Mole of 320 grams O2 = 320/32

                                       = 10 moles

Thus, C2H6 is the limiting reactant.

Mole ratio of C2H6 to CO2 according to the equation = 1:2

Since the mole of C2H6 is 1, the equivalent mole of CO2 would, therefore, be 2.

Mass of 2 moles CO2 = mole x molar mass

                                    = 2 x 44

                                      = 88 grams

A student dropped a piece of nickel metal into a solution of HCl(aq). He observed the formation of gas bubbles and collected the
omeli [17]

Answer:

a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

Explanation:

It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.

But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

$Ni + HCl(aq) = NiCl + H_2$

Thus the correct option is (a).

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a. A beta particle has a negative charge. d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.

Explanation:

Identify the correct descriptions of beta particles.

a. A beta particle has a negative charge. YES. A beta particle is originated in the following nuclear reaction: ¹₀n ⇒ ¹₁H + ⁰₋₁e (beta particle.)

b. A beta particle contains neutrons. NO. It is a electron originated in the nucleus.

c. A beta particle is less massive than a gamma ray. NO. Gamma rays don't have mass while a beta particle has a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton.

d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron. YES. Beta particles are nuclear originated hig-energy electrons.

Given 7.45 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100
KengaRu [80]

The equation for the reaction is:

C₄H₈O₂ + C₂H₅OH = C₆H₁₂O₂ + H₂O

Now you see that the number of the moles of butanoic acid and etyl butyrate is equal in

the reaction. That means;

number of moles of C₄H₈O₂ = number of moles of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂ = mass of C₆H₁₂O₂/ molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ = molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ x mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂

Now, assuming <span>100% yield, the mass of ethyl butyrate produced is: </span>

<span>= 7.45/88.11 x 116.16</span>

<span>=9.82g</span>

<span>Thus, the theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate is 9.82g.</span>
