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

What is the minimum volume of 5.50 M HCl necessary to neutralize completely the hydroxide in 718.0 mL of 0.183 M NaOH
Deffense [45]

The volume of HCl required is 23.89 mL

Calculation of volume:

The reaction:

HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_2O

As HCl and NaOH react in 1 : 1 ratio.

Volume of NaOH= 718 mL

Concentration= 0.183M

Volume of HCl= ?

Concentration= 5.50M

Using the dilution formula:

M_1\times V_1(NaOH)= M_2\times V_2(HCl)

0.183\times 718= 5.50 \times V_2\\V_2=\frac{131.394}{5.50} \\V_2 = 23.89 \,mL

Therefore,

Volume of HCl required will be 23.89 mL.

What is physical property?
ExtremeBDS [4]
A physical property is any property that is measurable, whose value describes a state of a physical system. The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. Physical properties are often referred to as observables. They are not modal properties.
