The isotope U-235 is important because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and we use the expression 'nuclear fission'. Meanwhile, like all radioactive isotopes, they decay.
Answer:
1. NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)
2. 79.3g
Explanation:
<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.</em>
NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)
<em>2. Suppose 43.0L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 13.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>
First, we have to calculate the moles of N₂ from the ideal gas equation.
The moles of NaN₃ are:
The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:
Answer:
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to an NN, OO, or FF atom.
A hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge when it is covalently bonded to an FF atom.
A hydrogen bond is possible with only certain hydrogen-containing compounds.
Explanation:
A hydrogen bond does not occur in all hydrogen containing compounds. Hydrogen bonds only occur in those compounds where hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element such as fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen.
In a hydrogen bonded specie, hydrogen acquires a partial positive charge and the electronegative element acquires a partial negative charge which extends throughout the molecule.
