im doing this in middle school. UGH!

the answer is arsenic. hope it helps!

Arsenic, I believe. Metalloids fall in between metals and nonmetals (usually on the bold line separating the two on the periodic table). And since the metalloid in question has four electron shells and five valence electrons in the outermost shell, you can see that this element is arsenic

Balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions, which take place in acidic solution, by using the "half-reaction" method.

LuckyWell [14K]

First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced.

Mg --> Mg+2

Hg+2 --> Hg+1

Then you have to balance each half reaction first with electrons before adding them together in one equation

$Mg$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$

and

$2Hg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$ ⇒ $Hg_{2} ^{+2}$

and then combine them together to form

$Mg + 2 Hg^{+2} + 2e$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e ^{-} + 2 Hg^{+1} + 2 e^{-}$

It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: Add H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.

A nuclear power plant operates at 40.0% efficiency with a continuous production of 1042 MW of usable power in 1.00 year and cons

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

3.00 x 10^-11 joules / atom of U-235

Explanation:

We know that the formula for Power = Work done (w)/Time (t)

We need to get the joules from power , since Joules is the SI unit of work.

From the formula P = W/t

W = Power (P) * Time (t)

The SI unit for Time is seconds, hence we change 1 year in seconds

1yr * 365 days/yr * 24hrs/day * 60mins/hr * 60 secs/min = 31536000 secs

It was stated in the question that the plant operates at an efficiency of 40%,

Thus to get the true power we divide the power provided in the question by 0.4 or 40%

= X(0.4) = 1042MW

True Power X = 1042/0.4 = 2605MW

Thus true power = 2605 * 10^6 Watts

Now we have the time in seconds and true power in Watts, we then find the work done.

From our above formula P = W/t

W = P*t = (2605* 10^6) (31536000) =

Finally, we can solve for our energy (work):

P = W / T PT = W = (2880x10^6) (31536000) = 8.22 x 10^16 joules

We then calculate the amount of energy released by only 1 single uranium-235 atom.

= 8.22 x 10^16 joules / 1.07x10^6 g U-235 (235 g / 1 mol)(1 mol/6.0210^23 atoms)

= 3.00 x 10^-11 joules / atom of U-235
