Answer:

A nuclear reaction releases more energy per gram and appears to violate the law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

In nuclear reactions there arises a shift in the nucleus of the atom. This results in the production of a different element altogether. While in chemical reactions the electrons are rearrangement and there is no change in the nucleus.
Factors like temperature, pressure, and catalysts do not affect the rate of nuclear reactions while they influence the chemical reactions.
The change in the energy is higher in nuclear reactions. It arises out of the destruction of mass.

How many formula units make up 24.2 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?<br><br> Help!!

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Approximately $1.53 \times 10^{23}$ formula units ( $0.254\; \rm mol$ ).

Explanation:

Refer to a modern periodic table for the relative atomic mass of magnesium ( $\rm Mg$ ) and chlorine ( $\rm Cl$ ):

$\rm Mg$ : $24.305$ .
$\rm Cl$ : $35.45$ .

In other words, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms would be (approximately) $24.305\; \rm g$ .

Likewise, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms would be approximately $35.45\; \rm g$ .

One formula unit of the ionic compound $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes exactly as many atoms as there are in the given formula. The formula mass of a compound is the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of the formula units of this compound.

The formula $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes one $\rm Mg$ atom and two $\rm Cl$ atoms.

Hence, every formula unit of $\rm MgCl_{2} \!$ would include the same number of atoms: one $\rm Mg\!$ atom and two $\rm Cl\!$ atoms. There would be $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms and $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms in $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units.

Thus, the mass of $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units would be equal to the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms plus the mass of $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms. (The mass of $1\; \rm mol\!\!$ of each atom could be found from the relative atomic mass of each element.)

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm MgCl_{2}}) \\ =\; & 24.305\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} + 2\times {\rm 35.45 \; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ =\; & 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the formula mass of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ is $95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Therefore, the number of formula units in $m = 24.2\; \rm g$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m({\rm MgCl_{2}})}{M({\rm MgCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{24.2\; \rm g}{95.205\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \\ & \approx 0.254\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Multiple $n$ by Avogadro's Number $N_{A} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}$ to estimate the number of formula units in $0.254\; \rm mol$ :

$\begin{aligned}N &= n \cdot N_{A} \\ &\approx 0.254\; \rm mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.53\times 10^{23}\end{aligned}$ .

Advertising claims sometimes state that adding something mechanical to a car's engine will allow it to recover 100 percent of th

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

second law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics deals with interconversion of energy from one form to another. Although energy can be converted from one form to another, this conversion is never 100% efficient because energy is lost in certain ways such as through heat. In a combustion engine, it is not possible to recover the energy from the gasoline 100% since energy must be lost along the way via such means as heat losses. Hence I will be skeptical about such an advert.

Deterioration of buildings, bridges, and other structures through the rusting of iron costs millions of dollars a day. The actua

GrogVix [38]

The value of ∆H when 0.250kg of iron rusts is -1.846 × 10³kJ.

The rust forms when 4.85X10³ kJ of heat is released is 888.916 g.

<h3>Chemical reaction:</h3>

4 Fe + 3O2 ------ 2Fe2O3

∆H = -1.65×10³kJ

A) Given,

mass of iron = 0.250kg = 250 g

<h3>Calculation of number of moles</h3>

moles = given mass/ molar mass

= 250/ 55.85 g/mol.

= 4.476 mol

As we know that,

For the rusting of 4 moles of Fe, ∆H = -1.65×10³kJ

For the rusting of 4.476 moles of Fe ∆H required can be calculated as

-1.65×10³kJ × 4.476 mol/ 4mol

∆H required = -1.846 × 10³kJ

Now,

when 2 mol of Fe2O3 formed, ∆H = - 1.65×10³kJ

It can be said that,

-1.65×10³kJ energy released when 2 mol of Fe2O3 formed

So, -4.6 × 10³kJ energy released when 2 mol of Fe2O3 formed

= 2 × -4.6 × 10³kJ / -1.65×10³kJ

= 5.57 mol of Fe2O3 formed

Now,

mass of Fe2O3 formed = 5.57 mol × 159.59 g/mol

= 888.916 g

Thus, we calculated that the rust forms when 4.85X10³ kJ of heat is released is 888.916 g. and the value of ∆H when 0.250kg of iron rusts is -1.846 × 10³kJ.

Is there a phobia for chemical reactions specifically?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

chemonoia

Explanation:

Many people have a strong fear of “chemicals” that belies the evidence. It's called chemonoia – and it may be damaging their health. If you were paranoid, you might think there really was something in the water that's damaged our sense of reason.
