When a neutron (n) collides with a uranium-235 nucleus it can induce a variety of fission reactions. One such reaction is U + n

→ Xe + Sr + 2n. How much energy is released in this reaction, given the following mass values: Xe: 139.921620 u Sr : 93.915367 u U: 235.043924 u n: 1.008665 u (1 u = 931.494 MeV/c2)

Explanation:

Since, the given reaction is U + n \rightarrow Xe + Sr + 2n

Sum of masses on both reactant and product side is as follows.

           235.043924 + 1.008665 = 139.921620 + 93.915367 + (2 × 1.008665)

                            = 0.198272 u

As it is known that relation between energy and mass is as follows.

                   Energy produced = \Delta m c^{2}

Since, 1 u = 931.494 MeV/c^{2}. Putting this value into the above formula as follows.

                   Energy produced = \Delta m c^{2}

                                                  = 0.198272 \times \frac{931.494}{c^{2}} \times c^{2}

                                                   = 184.69 MeV

As 1 MeV equals 1.602 \times 10^{-13} joules.

Hence, 184.69 MeV will be converted into joules as follows.

            184.69 MeV \times \frac{1.602 \times 10^{-13}J}{1 MeV}

                  = 295.87 \times 10^{-13} J

                  = 2.95 \times 10^{-17} J

Thus, we can conclude that energy released in this reaction is 2.95 \times 10^{-15} J.

Describe how phospholipids form a barrier between water inside the cell and water outside the cell
Lynna [10]
<span>Phospholipids would have to form a phospholipid bilayer in order to achieve water on the outside and water inside. This is because the nonpolar tails of the phospholipids are facing each other in a water environment because they cannot interact with the water, only their own tails, while the phosphate heads of the molecule face the periphery of the tails and interact with water. Micelles are the simplest examples of these.</span>

Hydroxylamine is a weak molecular base with kb = 6.6 x 10-9. what is the ph of a 0.0500 m solution of hydroxylamine?
7nadin3 [17]
Answer is: pH of hydroxylamine solution is 9,23.

Kb(NH₂OH) = 1,8·10⁻⁵<span>.
c</span>₀(NH₂OH)<span> = 0,0500 M = 0,05 mol/L.
c(NH</span>₂⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.

c(NH₂OH<span>) = 0,05 mol/L - x.
Kb = c(NH</span>₂⁺) · c(OH⁻) / c(NH₂OH).

0,0000000066 = x² /  (0,05 mol/L - x). 

solve quadratic equation: x = c(OH⁻) = 0,000018 mol/L.<span>
pOH = -log(</span>0,000018 mol/L) = 4,74.<span>
pH = 14 - 4,74 = 9,23.</span>

Likurg_2 [28]
The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below:
...........................................................................................................................

Answer: 
Given: conc. of HBr = 1.4 M
Volume of HBr = 15.4 mL
Volume of KOH = 22.10 mL

We know that, M1V1 = M2V2
                        (HBr)      (KOH)

Therefore, M2 = M1V1/V2
                        = 1.4 X 15.4/22.10
                        = 0.9756 M

Concentration of KOH is 0.9756 M.
