Chemistry
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]2 years ago

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

Adding water to a concentrated stock solution results in the...?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The solution becomes diluted.

Explanation:

When you add water to a solution, the number of moles of the solvent stays the same while the volume increases. Therefore, the molarity decreases.

Hope this helps!

In the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, what is the mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: The mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen is 3 mole: 1 mole, 3:1

Explanation:

•Mole ratios are determined using the coefficients of the substances in the balanced chemical equation. •Each coefficient represents the number of mole of each substance in the chemical reaction.

•The mole ratio can be determined by first writing out a balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ----> 2NH3(g)

1mol:3mol : 2mol

From the equation we can see that 1 mole of N2(g) reacts with 3 moles of H2(g) or 3 moles of H2(g) react with 1 mole of N2(g) to produce 2 moles of NH3(g).

Therefore, the mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen is 3 mole: 1 mole, 3:1
