How to balance N2O5 +H2O --->HNO3

1 answer:

8 0

To balance the chemical reaction above, we need to remember that the amount of the elements in the reactant side should be equal to the amount of that element in the product side. The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>N2O5 +H2O --->2HNO3</span>

The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24300. If a nuclear bomb released 8kg of this isotope, how many years would pass before the am

Aneli [31]

Answer:

= 72900 years

Explanation:

The half-life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half the original amount.
The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24300 years which means it takes 24300 years to decay by half the original amount.

To calculate the time taken for a mass of 8 kg to decay to 1 kg we use;

New mass = Original mass x (1/2) ^n, where n is the number of half-lives

Therefore;

1 kg = 8 kg × (1/2)^n

1/8 = (1/2)^n

solving for n;

n =3

Therefore;

Time = 3 × 24300 years

= 72900 years

It will, therefore, take 72900 years for 8 kg of plutonium-239 to decay to 1 kg.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

$\text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\\boxed{\text{five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

Explanation:

1. Miles travelled in an average month

$\text{Miles} = \text{1 mo} \times \dfrac{\text{52 wk}}{\text{12 mo}} \times \dfrac{\text{5 da}}{\text{1 wk}} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mi}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{347 mi}$

2. Using a gasoline powered vehicle

(a) Moles of heptane used

$n = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{36.5 mi}}\times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{679.5 g}}{\text{1L}} \times \dfrac{ \text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}}= \text{244 mol}$

(b) Equation for combustion

C₇H₁₆ + O₂ ⟶ 7CO₂ + 8H₂O

(c) Moles of CO₂ formed

$n = \text{244 mol heptane} \times \dfrac{\text{7 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol heptane}} = \text{1710 mol CO$_{2}$}$

(d) Volume of CO₂ formed

At 20 °C and 1 atm, the molar volume of a gas is 24.0 L.

$V = \text{1710 mol } \times \dfrac{\text{24.0 L}}{\text{1 mol}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.785 L}} = \textbf{10 800 gal}$

3. Using an electric vehicle

(a) Theoretical energy used

$\text{Theor. Energy} = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kWh}}{\text{5.2 mi}} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.}$

(b) Actual energy used

The power station is only 85 % efficient.

$\text{Actual energy used} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.} \times \dfrac{\text{100 kWh actual}}{\text{ 85 kWh theor.}}\times \dfrac{\text{3600 kJ}}{\text{1 kWh}}\\\\ = 2.82\times 10^{5} \text{ kJ}\$

(c) Combustion of CH₄

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⟶ CO₂ +2 H₂O

(d) Equivalent volume of CO₂

The heat of combustion of methane is -802.3 kJ·mol⁻¹

$V= 2.82\times 10^{5}\text{ kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol methane}}{\text{802.3 kJ}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$} }{\text{1 mol methane}} \times \dfrac{ \text{24.0 L}}{ \text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}}\\\\ \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.875 L}} = \textbf{2180 gal}$

4. Comparison

$\dfrac{V_{\text{gasoline}}}{V_{\text{electric}}} = \dfrac{10800}{2180} = 5.0\\\\ \text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\ \boxed{\textbf{ five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

Naturally occurring zirconium exists are five isotopes. axe with a mass of 89.905 u(51.45%); Zr with a mass of 90.906 u (11.22%)

Anton [14]

Isotope 1: 89.905 * 51.45 = 4625.61225 / 100 = 46.2561225
Isotope 2: 90.906 * 11.22 = 1019.96532 / 100 = 10.1996532
Isotope 3: 91.905 * 17.15 = 1576.17175 / 100 = 15.7617075
Isotope 4: 93.906 * 17.38 = 1632.08628 / 100 = 16.3208628
Isotope 5: 95.908 * 2.08 = 268.5424 / 100 = 2.685424

46.2561225 + 10.1996532 + 15.7617075 + 16.3208628 + 2.685424 = 91.22377
actual mass Zr = about 91.22
