c.Both the breaking of nuclear bonds and the forming of nuclear bonds.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is released by the breaking and forming of nuclear bonds. The breaking of nuclear bonds by unstable atoms is known as nuclear fission. The forming of nuclear bonds by combination of light atoms is known as nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into lighter ones with the release of energy.
In nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of large amount of energy.

In a 35.0 L tank of N2O3 at STP, how many molecules are there?

likoan [24]

Answer:

$9.40x10^{23}molecules$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are given the volume of N2O3 and pressure and temperature for the STP (1.00 atm and 273.15 K), we can compute the moles, considering the ideal gas equation as shown below:

$PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT} \\\\n=\frac{1atm*35L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}\\\\n=1.56mol$

Now, by using the Avogadro's number it is possible to compute the molecules of this case in 1.56 moles:

$molecules=1.56mol*\frac{6.022x10^{23}}{1mol} =9.40x10^{23}molecules$

Best regards!
