Zolol [24]4 years ago

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Roughly a million times greater}}.

Explanation:

For example, the energy released in burning 1 mol of octane, a component of gasoline, is about 5000 kJ.

The energy released in the fission of 1 mol of uranium-235 is

about 1.5 × 10¹⁰ kJ .

The ratio is  

\dfrac{1.5 \times 10^{10} }{5000} \approx 3 \times 10^{6}\\\\\text{The energy released by nuclear reactions is } \boxed{\textbf{roughly a million times greater}}\\\text{ than that released during chemical reactions.}

The first four electrons shells fill out in what electron configuration?
Sidana [21]

Explanation:

2, 8, 8, 2 is the electron arrangement of Calcium.

The way that the "orbitals", the shells, fill up is given as

1s^{2}  2s^{2}  2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^{6} 4s^{2} 3d^{10} . . . etc etc.

It is more stable for the fourth shell to start filling up with an electron pair, and then subsequent electrons filling up the third shell again.

So while potassium 19, is 2,8,8,1

And calcium 20, is 2,8,8,2

Scandium 21 will fill up as, 2,8,9,2

This will continue until we reach Zinc 30, which will fill up as 2,8,18,2. The third shell is now "full", and the fourth shell will now being to fill up.

The fourth orbital starts getting filled up again, Gallium 31, is 2,8,18,3

For the following reaction, 5.61 grams of carbon monoxide are mixed with excess water . Assume that the percent yield of carbon
stealth61 [152]

<u>Answer:</u> The ideal yield of carbon dioxide is 7.506 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of carbon monoxide = 5.61 g

Molar mass of carbon monoxide = 28 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of carbon monoxide}=\frac{5.61g}{28g/mol}=0.200mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon monoxide and water follows:

CO(g)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2(g)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of carbon monoxide produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide

So, 0.200 moles of carbon monoxide will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.200=0.200mol of carbon dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 0.200 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.200mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(0.200mol\times 44g/mol)=8.8g

To calculate the experimental yield of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Percentage yield of carbon dioxide = 85.3 %

Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide = 8.8 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

85.3=\frac{\text{Experimental yield of carbon dioxide}}{8.8g}\times 100\\\\\text{Experimental yield of carbon dioxide}=\frac{85.3\times 8.8}{100}=7.506g

Hence, the ideal yield of carbon dioxide is 7.506 grams
