Answer :The correct order for equilibrium constant = K₁ > K₂ >K₃

Ethene is an alkene and X2 is elemental halogen . The reaction between alkene and halogen is known as Halogenation reaction . This reaction involves electrophilic addition mechanism . In this reaction elemental halogen (X₂ ) produces a elctrophile , X⁺ . This electrophile is attracted by the double bond in alkene and attached to it .

Due to addition of electrophile , it produces carbocation intermediate .On this positive carbon , nucleophile attacks , hence , a resultant 1,2-di halide alkane is produced .( in image )

The reaction between ethene ( C₂H₄) and halogen ( X₂) produces 1,2 - dihalide ethane (C₂H₄X₂) . The image shows reaction between chlorine ,Cl₂ , a halogen (X₂) .

The expression for equilibrium constant of reaction between ethene and halogen is given as:

K = \frac{product}{reactant }

Product = C₂H₄X₂ Reactants = C₂H₄ and X₂

K = \frac{[C_2H_4X_2]}{[C_2H_4] [X_2]}

On applying this concept in figures :

Given : Green = Cl₂ Brown = Br₂ Purple = I₂ Grey = Ethene

Grey + Green = 1,2- dihalide ethane

a) Number of Cl₂(green ) = 2

number of ethane ( grey ) = 2

Number of 1,2-dichloride alkane( grey + green ) = 8

Plugging these number in equilibrium constant expression :

K_1 = \frac{8}{2 * 2 } =  \frac{8}{4} = 2

Hence K₁ for ethene + chlorine = 2

b) Number of Br₂(brown ) = 4

number of ethane ( grey ) = 4

Number of 1,2-dibromide alkane( grey + brown ) = 6

On plugging these values in K expression as :

K_2= \frac{6 }{4 * 4 } = \frac{6}{16} =   0.375

Hence K₂ for ethen + Bromine = 0.375

c) Number of I₂(purple ) = 7

number of ethane ( grey ) = 7

Number of 1,2-diiodide alkane( grey + purple ) = 3

On plugging values in K expression as:

K_3 = \frac{3}{7 * 7 } = \frac{3}{49}   =  0.0612

Hence K₃ for ethene + Iodine = 0.0612

So , the order of equilibrium constant (K) from largest to smallest :

K₃ = 0.0612 K₂ = 0.375 K₁= 2

K₁ > K₂ >K₃

What feature of an orbital is related to each of the following?<br> (a) Principal quantum number (n)
raketka [301]

Principle  quantum number describes the energy of an electron and most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus.

<h3>What is the significance of principle quantum numbers and azimuthal quantum numbers?</h3>

A principal quantum number  signifies size and energy of the orbital.Azimuthal quantum number signifies three dimensional shape of the orbital.

Magnetic quantum numbers signifies spatial orientation of the orbital.

Principal quantum numbers is the quantum numbers denoted by n which indirectly describes the size of the electron orbitals. It is always assigned an integer value but its value never be 0.  The feature of a principal quantum numbers  is the energy of  an electron and  most probable distance of the electron from the nucles.

From the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆ , find the number of steps needed to produce a sample of the enriched f
Dafna11 [192]

The number of steps required to manufacture a sample of the 3.0 mole%  ²³⁵U enriched fuel used in many nuclear reactors from the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆. ²³⁵U occurs naturally in an abundance of 0.72% are :  mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication and electricity generation.

<h3>What is Uranium abundance ? </h3>
  • The majority of the 500 commercial nuclear power reactors that are currently in operation or being built across the world need their fuel to be enriched in the U-235 isotope.
  • This enrichment is done commercially using centrifuges filled with gaseous uranium.
  • A laser-excitation-based method is being developed in Australia.
  • Uranium oxide needs to be changed into a fluoride before enrichment so that it can be treated as a gas at low temperature.
  • Uranium enrichment is a delicate technology from the perspective of non-proliferation and needs to be subject to strict international regulation. The capacity for world enrichment is vastly overbuilt.

The two isotopes of uranium that are most commonly found in nature are U-235 and U-238. The 'fission' or breaking of the U-235 atoms, which releases energy in the form of heat, is how nuclear reactors generate energy. The primary fissile isotope of uranium is U-235.

The U-235 isotope makes up 0.7% of naturally occurring uranium. The U-238 isotope, which has a small direct contribution to the fission process, makes up the majority of the remaining 99.3%. (though it does so indirectly by the formation of fissile isotopes of plutonium). A physical procedure called isotope separation is used to concentrate (or "enrich") one isotope in comparison to others. The majority of reactors are light water reactors (of the PWR and BWR kinds) and need their fuel to have uranium enriched by 0.7% to 3-5% U-235.

There is some interest in increasing the level of enrichment to around 7%, and even over 20% for particular special power reactor fuels, as high-assay LEU (HALEU).

Although uranium-235 and uranium-238 are chemically identical, they have different physical characteristics, most notably mass. The U-235 atom has an atomic mass of 235 units due to its 92 protons and 143 neutrons in its nucleus. The U-238 nucleus has 146 neutrons—three more than the U-235 nucleus—in addition to its 92 protons, giving it a mass of 238 units.

The isotopes may be separated due to the mass difference between U-235 and U-238, which also makes it possible to "enrich" or raise the proportion of U-235. This slight mass difference is used, directly or indirectly, in all current and historical enrichment procedures.

Some reactors employ naturally occurring uranium as its fuel, such as the British Magnox and Canadian Candu reactors. (By contrast, to manufacture at least 90% U-235, uranium needed for nuclear bombs would need to be enriched in facilities created just for that purpose.)

Uranium oxide from the mine is first transformed into uranium hexafluoride in a separate conversion plant because enrichment operations need the metal to be in a gaseous state at a low temperature.

Calcula la masa atómica del Hierro y las partículas subatómicas de cada uno de sus isótopos. Fe-54 (5.82%), Fe-56 (91.66%), Fe-5
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

La masa atómica del hierro es 55.847 gramos por mol.

Explanation:

Las masas molares de Fe_{54}, Fe_{56}, Fe_{57} y Fe_{58} son 53.940 gramos por mol, 55.935 gramos por mol, 56.935 gramos por mol y 57.933 gramos por mol, respectivamente. La masa atómica del hierro se determina mediante el siguiente promedio ponderado:

M_{Fe} = \frac{5.82}{100}\times \left(53.940\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)+\frac{91.66}{100}\times (55.935\,\frac{g}{mol})+\frac{2.19}{100}\times \left(56.935\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)+\frac{0.33}{100}\times \left(57.933\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)

M_{Fe} = 55.847\,\frac{g}{mol}

La masa atómica del hierro es 55.847 gramos por mol.
