Answer is: C. nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay where nucleus of atom split into smaller ligher nuclei.

Nuclear fission is exothermic reaction which release large amounts of energy (electromagnetic radiation or as kinetic energy, which heat reactors where fission reaction take place).

Answer: The process of splitting of an atom into two lighter atoms is called is called nuclear fission.

Explanation:

There are two types of nuclear decay reactions:

Nuclear fission reactions: They are defined as the reaction in which, the heavier atoms splits into two or more lighter atoms. The number of atoms formed in this reaction increases from the given atoms.
Nuclear fusion reactions: They are defined as the reaction in which, two or more lighter atoms combine to form a heavier atom. The number of atoms formed in this reaction decreases from the given atoms.

Hence, the process of splitting of an atom into two lighter atoms is called is called nuclear fission.

What is the volume, in liters, of 1.40 mol of oxygen gas at 20.0°C and 0.974 atm?

topjm [15]

Answer:

V = 34.55 L

Explanation:

Given that,

No of moles, n = 1.4

Temperature, T = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Pressure, P = 0.974 atm

We need to find the volume of the gas. It can be calculated using Ideal gas equation which is :

PV=nRT

R is gas constant, $R=0.08206\ L-atm/mol-K$

Finding for V,

$V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.4\times 0.08206\times 293}{0.974 }\\\\V=34.55\ L$

So, the volume of the gas is 34.55 L.

A solution is prepared from 4.5701 g of magnesium chloride and 43.238 g of water. The vapor pressure of water above this solutio

balandron [24]

Answer:

i = 2.483

Explanation:

The vapour pressure lowering formula is:

Pₐ = Xₐ×P⁰ₐ (1)

For electrolytes:

Pₐ = nH₂O / (nH₂O + inMgCl₂)×P⁰ₐ

Where:

Pₐ is vapor pressure of solution (0.3624atm), nH₂O are moles of water, nMgCl₂ are moles of MgCl₂, i is Van't Hoff Factor, Xₐ is mole fraction of solvent and P⁰ₐ is pressure of pure solvent (0.3804atm)

4.5701g of MgCl₂ are:

4.5701g ₓ (1mol / 95.211g) = 0.048000 moles

43.238g of water are:

43.238g ₓ (1mol / 18.015g) = 2.400 moles

Replacing in (1):

0.3624atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)×0.3804atm

0.3624atm / 0.3804atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.4mol / 0.9527

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol

i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol - 2.4mol

i = 0.1192mol / 0.048mol

i = 2.483

I hope it helps!

Limiting Reactants—————-

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

21.8 grams.

Explanation:

Molar mass data from a modern periodic table:

Mg: 24.301;
O: 15.999.

How many moles of MgO will be produced if Mg is the limiting reactant?

Number of moles of Mg:

$\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{16.3}{24.301} = 0.670644\;\text{mol}$ .

The ratio between the coefficient of Mg and that of MgO is 2:2. Two moles of Mg will make two moles of MgO. 0.670644 moles of MgO will be produced if Mg is the limiting reactant.

How many moles of MgO will be produced if O₂ is the limiting reactant?

Number of moles of O₂:

$\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{4.33}{15.999} = 0.270642\;\text{mol}$ .

The ratio between the coefficient of O₂ and that of MgO is 1:2. One mole of O₂ will make two moles of MgO. $2\times 0.270642 = 0.541284\;\text{mol}$ of MgO will be produced if O₂ is in excess.

How many moles of MgO will be produced?

0.541284 is smaller than 0.670644. Only 0.541284 moles of MgO will be produced since O₂ will run out before all 16.3 grams of Mg is consumed.

What's the mass of 0.541284 moles of MgO?

Formula mass of MgO:

$24.301 + 15.999 = 40.300\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}$ .

Mass of 0.541284 moles of MgO:

$m = n \cdot M = 0.541284\times 40.300 = 21.8\;\text{g}$ .

The [-oh) in a sample of egg whites is 6.3 x 10-7 m. what is the [h3o+] in these egg whites?

Kamila [148]

The hydrogen ion concentration [H3O+] in an egg white containing 6.3 × 10-⁷M of [OH-] is 1.5 × 10-⁸M.

<h3>How to calculate [H3O+]?</h3>

The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution can be calculated as follows:

pOH = - log [OH-]

pOH = - log [6.3 × 10-⁷M]

pOH = - [-6.2]

pOH = 6.2

Since pOH + pH = 14

pH = 14 - 6.2

pH = 7.8

pH = - log [H3O+]

7.8 = - log [H3O+]

[H3O+] = 10-⁷:⁸

[H3O+] = 1.5 × 10-⁸M

Therefore, the hydrogen ion concentration [H3O+] in an egg white containing 6.3 × 10-⁷M of [OH-] is 1.5 × 10-⁸M.
