What happens when you shoot a neutron at a uranium-238 atom?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Scientist shoot a whole bunch of neutrons at uranium-235 atoms. When one neutron hits the nucleus the uranium becomes U-236. When it becomes 236, the uranium atoms wants to spilt apart. After it splits it gives off three neutrons and a lot of energy.

A student mixes 33.0 mL of 2.70 M Pb ( NO 3 ) 2 ( aq ) with 20.0 mL of 0.00157 M NaI ( aq ) . How many moles of PbI 2 ( s ) prec

GalinKa [24]

Answer: The moles of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) produced is $1.57\times 10^{-5}$ moles

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

For lead (II) nitrate:

Molarity of lead (II) nitrate solution = 2.70 M

Volume of solution = 33.0 mL = 0.033 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$2.70M=\frac{\text{Moles of lead (II) nitrate}}{0.033L}\\\\\text{Moles of lead (II) nitrate}=(2.70mol/L\times 0.0330L)=0.0891mol$

For NaI:

Molarity of NaI solution = 0.00157 M

Volume of solution = 20.0 mL = 0.020 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.00157M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaI}}{0.020L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaI}=(0.00157mol/L\times 0.0200L)=3.14\times 10^{-5}mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2NaI(aq.)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI reacts with 1 mole of lead (II) nitrate

So, $3.14\times 10^{-5}$ moles of NaI will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 10^{-5}=1.57\times 10^{-5}mol$ of lead (II) nitrate

As, given amount of lead (II) nitrate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, NaI is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI produces 1 mole of lead (II) iodide

So, $3.14\times 10^{-5}$ moles of NaI will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 10^{-5}=1.57\times 10^{-5}moles$ of lead (II) iodide

Hence, the moles of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) produced is $1.57\times 10^{-5}$ moles

List 2 things that about Velocity and Speed that are Different and two that are the same.

frozen [14]

Hey there!
Speed and velocity both:
1) Measure how fast something is moving
2) Both measured in miles per hour, meters/second, etc (rates)
However, there's a prime difference:
Different because:
1) Velocity is speed, but in a certain direction
2) Velocity is a vector
3) Velocity can be positive or negative, unlike speed.
I added another just in case you had a preference :)

Hope this helps!

A certain protein was found to contain 0.292% manganese by mass. Determine the minimum molecular mass of the protein.

Lisa [10]

$55u \ \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ 0,292\%\\
x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ 100\%\\\\
x = \frac{55u*100\%}{0,292\%}\approx18835,62u$

What is the difference between atomic mass and molar mass?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Atomic mass is the mass of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. Molar mass the mass of a given substance divided by its amount of substance in (mol) .

TIME REMAINING 52:03 Considering the activity series given below for metals and nonmetals, which reaction will occur?

Luden [163]

Answer:

2NaBr + I2 Right arrow. 2NaI + Br2

2AgNO3 + Ni Right arrow. Ni(NO3)2 + 2Ag

Explanation:

The activity or electrochemical series is an arrangement of elements according to their order

of reactivity.

If we look at the reactions, one thing that we must note is that the reactions that can occur are those in which an element that is higher in the series displaces another element that is lower in the series.

Br is higher in the electrochemical series than I so it can displace it. Ni is higher than Ag in the electrochemical series hence it can displace it.
