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

How many milliliters of 2.19 M H2SO4 are required to react with 4.75 g of solid containing 21.6 wt% Ba(NO3)2 if the reaction is
Setler [38]

Answer:

1.7927 mL

Explanation:

The mass of solid taken = 4.75 g

This solid contains 21.6 wt% Ba(NO_3)_2, thus,

Mass of Ba(NO_3)_2 = \frac {21.6}{100}\times 4.75\ g = 1.026 g

Molar mass of Ba(NO_3)_2 = 261.337 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{1.026\ g}{261.337\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.003926\ mol

Considering the reaction as:

Ba(NO_3)_2+H_2SO_4\rightarrow BaSO_4+2HNO_3

1 moles of Ba(NO_3)_2 react with 1 mole of H_2SO_4

Thus,

0.003926 mole of Ba(NO_3)_2 react with 0.003926 mole of H_2SO_4

Moles of H_2SO_4 = 0.003926 mole

Also, considering:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity = 2.19 M

So,

2.19=\frac{0.003926}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution(L)}

Volume = 0.0017927 L

Also, 1 L = 1000 mL

<u>So, volume = 1.7927 mL</u>
