1 answer:
Answer:
Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy
Explanation:
The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:
⇒
total mass equals 236.053 u total mass equals 235.868 u
Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.
Answer: From Einstein’s equation E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.
The law of conservation of energy holds for this type of reaction (i.e the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.
From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u

Physical property
Explanation:
We can visualize the property without the need to do any experiments.
16.4 grams is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M .
sodium phosphate
Explanation:
Given data about sodium phosphate
atomic mass of Na3PO4 = 164 grams/mole
volume of the solution = 500 ml or 0.5 litres
molarity of sodium phosphate solution = 0.200 M
The formula for molarity will be used here to know the mass dissolved in the given volume of the solution:
The formula is
molarity =
putting the values in the equation, we get
molarity x volume = number of moles
0.200 X 0.5= number of moles
number of moles = 0.1 moles
Atomic mass x number of moles = mass
putting the values in the above equation
164 x 0.1 = 16.4 grams
16.4 grams of sodium phosphate is present in 0.5 L of the solution to make a 0.2 M solution.
