Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction

Chemistry
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:

        ^{235}_{72}U +^{1}_{0}n                       ⇒        ^{140}_{56}Ba+^{93}_{36}Kr+3^{1}_{0}n+energy

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

Answer:

Your answer is B, Electrochemistry!

Explanation:

This is the part of chemistry that studies the chemical process in which electrons flow. This flow is called electricity. Electricity is generated by the flow of electrons, from one element to another element. This reaction is called oxidation reduction.

An inverted pyramid is being filled with water at a constant rate of 45 cubic centimeters per second. The pyramid, at the top, h
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

13.20 cm/s is the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 4 cm.

Explanation:

Length of the base = l

Width of the base  =  w

Height of the pyramid = h

Volume of the pyramid = V=\frac{1}{3}lwh

We have:

Rate at which water is filled in cube = \frac{dV}{dt}= 45 cm^3/s

Square based pyramid:

l = 6 cm, w = 6 cm, h = 13 cm

Volume of the square based pyramid = V

V=\frac{1}{3}\times l^2\times h

\frac{l}{h}=\frac{6}{13}

l=\frac{6h}{13}

V=\frac{1}{3}\times (\frac{6h}{13})^2\times h

V=\frac{12}{169}h^3

Differentiating V with respect to dt:

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d(\frac{12}{169}h^3)}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt}=3\times \frac{12}{169}h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

45 cm^3/s=3\times \frac{12}{169}h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{45 cm^3/s\times 169}{3\times 12\times h^2}

Putting, h = 4 cm

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{45 cm^3/s\times 169}{3\times 12\times (4 cm)^2}

=13.20 cm/s

13.20 cm/s is the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 4 cm.
