Water and sodium oxide have different properties because of their nature as explained below.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sodium oxide is a oxide of metallic sodium, while water is an oxide of hydrogen. So sodium oxide is a metallic oxide, while water is a non metallic oxide. Sodium oxide is a basic oxide, while water is neutral. As state of matter is concerned, sodium oxide is solid in normal room temperature, while water is liquid in normal room temperature. Water is a polar covalent molecule with partial charges on oxygen, but sodium oxide is an ionic molecule.

So all these factors contribute to very different properties of both sodium oxide and water.

Nuclear power plants produce energy using fission. One common fuel, uranium-235, produces energy through the fission reaction 23

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

mass of U-235 = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)

Explanation:

1 atom can produce -------------------------> 3.20 x 10^-11 J energy

x atoms can produce ----------------------> 1.30 x 10^12 J energy

x = 1.30 x 10^12 / 3.20 x 10^-11

x = 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

1 mol ----------------------> 6.023 x 10^23 atoms

y mol ----------------------> 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

y = 0.0675 moles

mass of U-235 = 0.0675 x 235 = 15.8625

mass of U-235 = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)

An 8 oz. bottle of energy drink contains 6.0 g of protein, 2.0 g of fat, and 16.3 g of carbohydrate. The fuel value of this ener

valina [46]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is d) 460 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Content of fat in energy drink = 2.0 g

Content of protein in energy drink = 6.0 g

Content of carbohydrate in energy drink = 16.3 g

Also,

The fuel value of fat = 38 kJ/g

The fuel value of protein = 17 kJ/g

The fuel value of carbohydrate = 17 kJ/g

So, the fuel value of the energy drink will be:

Total fuel value = $(2.0g\times 38 kJ/g)+(6.0g\times 17 kJ/g)+(16.3g\times 17 kJ/g)$

Total fuel value = $[76+102+277]=460kJ$

Hence, the correct option is d) 460 kJ

A pan containing 40 grams of water was allowed to cool from a temperature of 91.0C. If the amount of heat repressed is 1,300 jou

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

83°C

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

M = 40g

C = 4.2J/g°C

T1 = 91°C

T2 =?

Q = 1300J

Q = MCΔT

ΔT = Q/CM

ΔT = 1300/(4.2x40)

ΔT = 8°C

But ΔT = T1 — T2 (since the reaction involves cooling)

ΔT = T1 — T2

8 = 91 — T2

Collect like terms

8 — 91 = —T2

— 83 = —T2

Multiply through by —1

T2 = 83°C

The final temperature is 83°C

The principal source of sulfur on earth is deposits of free sulfur occurring mainly in volcanically Active regions. The offer wa

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.18x10⁸L of SO₂ and 2.36x10⁸L of H₂S

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

8SO₂(g) + 16H₂S(g) → 16H₂O(l) + 3S₈(s)

To solve this question we must find the moles of S₈ in 4.50x10⁵kg. With these moles and the reaction we can find the moles of SO₂ needed to react (Twice these moles = Moles Of H₂S needed). Using PV = nRT we can find the volume of the gas required:

<em>Moles S₈ - molar mass: 256.52g/mol-</em>

4.50x10⁵kg = 4.50x10⁸g * (1mol / 256.52g) =

1.75x10⁶ moles S₈

<em>Moles SO₂:</em>

1.75x10⁶ moles S₈ * (8mol SO₂ / 3mol S₈) = 4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂

<em>Moles H₂S:</em>

4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂ * 2 = 9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S

The volume could be obtained as follows:

PV = nRT

V = nRT / P

<em>V is volume in liters</em>

<em>n are moles: 4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂ and 9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S</em>

<em>R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature = 22°C + 273.15 = 295.15K</em>

<em>P is pressure = 0.961atm</em>

<em />

Replacing:

Volume SO₂ and H₂S:

4.68x10⁶ moles * 0.082atmL/molK * 295.15K / 0.961atm =

<em>9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S</em> * 0.082atmL/molK * 295.15K / 0.961atm =

I'm guessing water vapour. i can't think of any other gas limited to only hydrogen and oxygen

hope it helps :)
