In which tool are uranium atoms split to make electricity?

1 answer:

8 0

I'm assuming this refers to nuclear fission, which is in fact used to create heat, causing steam to spin turbines.
In which case, Uranium atoms are split by absorbing neutrons inside the reactor of a nuclear power station.

What amount of heat absorbs 50 g of steel (ce = 0.115 cal / g. ° C) that

does its temperature vary by 25 ° C?

Answer:

143.75cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of steel = 50g

Specific heat capacity of the steel = 0.115cal/g°C

Temperature = 25°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat to cause this temperature change is dependent on mass and specific heat capacity of the substance.

Amount of heat = m C (ΔT)

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the temperature change

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Amount of heat = 50 x 0.115 x 25

Amount of heat = 143.75cal

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

1. Number of moles, n

$n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol$

2. Mass

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.
