Let’s say we start with 2.2lbs of uranium. If the half-line of U-235 is 703.8 million years, how much uranium will we have after

Answer:

0.14 lb

Explanation:

The <em>half-life</em> of U-235 (703.8 ×10⁶ yr) is the time it takes for half the U to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.

We can construct a table as follows:

  No. of                        Fraction         Amount

<u>half-lives</u>  <u>t/(yr × 10⁶)</u>  <u>remaining</u>   <u>remaining/lb </u>

       1             703.8            ½                    1.1

       2           1408               ¼                   0.55

       3            2111                ⅛                   0.28

       4           2815               ¹/₁₆                  0.14

We see that 2815 × 10⁶ yr is four half-lives, and the amount of U-235 remaining is 0.14 lb.

Which of the following will have the highest boiling point?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.1M NH3

Explanation:

The boiling point of aqueous solutions depend on the nature of intermolecular interactions present. KBr will yield an ionic solution but NH3 will yield a molecular solution having hydrogen bonds. The degree of hydrogen bonding in the aqueous solution will further increase with the concentration of the solution.

Remember that experimental data shows that hydrogen bonds are strong bonds that lead to a significant increase in the boiling point of solutions. Hence 0.1M NH3 solution will have a higher boiling point due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the solution.

When 3.0 grams of H2 is reacted with excess C at constant pressure, the reaction forms CH4 and releases 53.3 kJ of heat. C(s) +
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

THE ENTHALPY OF REACTION IN KJ/MOL OF CH4 IS 7.07 KJ/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of H2 = 3 g

Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol

Heat released = 53.3 kJ

Equation of the reaction:

C(s) + 2H2(g) -------> CH4(g)

First:

Calculate the number of moles of H2 that was used:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 3g / 2g

Number of moles = 1.5 moles

So therefore, when 53.3 kJ of heat was released from the reaction, 1.5 moles of hydrogen was used.

From the equation of the reaction, one mole of carbon reacts with two moles of hydrogen to form one mole of methane.

For 3 g of hydrogen, 1.5 mole of hydrogen is involved.

It means:

1.5 moles of hydrogen reacts with 0.75 moles of carbon and produces 0.75 moles of methane. This is so because the reaction occurs in 1: 2: 1 in respect to carbon, hydrogen and methane respectively.

So we can say that the production of 0.75 mole of methane will evolve 53.3 kJ of heat.

0.75 mole of methane releases 53.3 kJ of heat.

1 mole of methane will release ( 53.3 kJ * 1 / 0.75 )

= 71.0666 kJ of heat

In conclusion, the enthalpy of the reaction in kJ/ mole of CH4 is 71.07 kJ/mol.

Examine the equation.
Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as;

                 2H₂_{g}   +  O₂_{g}   →   2H₂O_{l}

From the balance reaction expression:

 2 mole of hydrogen gas combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas on the reactant side;

This produces 2 mole of water on the product side of the expression.

The product is in liquid form.

 This reaction is a synthesis reaction because a single product is formed from two reactants.

1 question content area what is the total number of valence electrons in the lewis structure of sebr2o?
joja [24]

There are 24 valance electrons in the compound.

<h3>What are valence electrons?</h3>

We know that the valence electrons are those that are found on the valence shell of an atom. There are four atoms that can be seen in the compound that is under consideration. The atoms are selenium, bromine (2 atoms) and oxygen.

Given that there are seven valence electrons in bromine and six valence electrons in oxygen and selenium. We have;

2(7 electrons of bromine) + 6 electrons of oxygen + 4 electrons of Se

= 24 electrons
