Uranium has atomic number 92. Its most common isotope is 238U, but the form used in nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants is 23

5U. How many neutrons are in each of these two isotopes of uranium

Explanation:

Atomic Number = Number of protons

Mass Number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Isotopes are simply atoms of an element with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.

First Isotope -- 238U

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Number of neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146

Second Isotope -- 235U

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Number of neutrons = 235 - 92 = 143

Ammonia will decompose into nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a tank

Answer:

The concentration equilibrium constant is $K_c = 14.39$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for this decomposition of ammonia is

$2 NH_3$ ↔ $N_2 + 3 H_2$

The initial concentration of ammonia is mathematically represented a

$[NH_3] = \frac{n_1}{V_1} = \frac{29}{75}$

$[NH_3] = 0.387 \ M$

The initial concentration of nitrogen gas is mathematically represented a

$[N_2] = \frac{n_2}{V_2}$

$[N_2] = 0.173 \ M$

So looking at the equation

Initially (Before reaction)

$NH_3 = 0.387 \ M$

$N_2 = 0 \ M$

$H_2 = 0 \ M$

During reaction(this is gotten from the reaction equation )

$NH_3 = -2 x$ (this implies that it losses two moles of concentration )

$N_2 = + x$ (this implies that it gains 1 moles)

$H_2 = +3 x$ (this implies that it gains 3 moles)

Note : x denotes concentration

At equilibrium

$NH_3 = 0.387 -2x$

$N_2 = x$

$H_2 = 3 x$

Now since

$[NH_3] = 0.387 \ M$

$x= 0.387 \ M$

$H_2 = 3 * 0.173$

$H_2 = 0.519 \ M$

$NH_3 = 0.387 -2(0.173)$

$NH_3 = 0.041 \ M$

Now the equilibrium constant is

$K_c = \frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}$

substituting values

$K_c = \frac{(0.173) (0.519)^3}{(0.041)^2}$

$K_c = 14.39$

Which causes waves in the ocean to occur?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

C. energy being transferred from wind

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves.
