<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given nuclear reaction:

_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca}+_{-1}^{0}\textrm{e}

We are given:

Mass of _{19}^{40}\textrm{K} = 39.963998 u

Mass of _{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca} = 39.962591 u

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

\Delta m=\text{Mass of reactants}-\text{Mass of products}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=(39.963998-39.962591)=0.001407u

To calculate the energy released, we use the equation:

E=\Delta mc^2\\E=(0.001407u)\times c^2

E=(0.001407u)\times (931.5MeV)    (Conversion factor:  1u=931.5MeV/c^2  )

E=1.3106MeV

Hence, the energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.

Describe the energy of the products in comparison to the energy the atoms had when the were wandering around the room free.
Over [174]

Answer: The atoms of the solid products are tightly packed whereas those in gas are loose.

Explanation:

Atoms in the solid structure are linked to each other by strong force of attraction and they collectively form an three-dimensional structure. The binding of the atoms form the shape of the solid product. The gas exhibit free atoms in it. The atoms are not linked to one another by strong force of attraction. The atoms as a part of gas have higher energy as those present in the solid products. So, the atoms of the gas wander freely as compared to those in the solid products.

Determine the correct set of coefficients to balance the chemical equation. __c6h6(l) + __o2(g)? __co2(g) + __h2o(g)
forsale [732]
To balance this equation, first we should consider balancing C because it only presents in one reactant and one product.  Assuming the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 C's in the reactant, so it generates 6CO2.  Then consider balancing H for the same reason. If the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 H's in the reactant, so it generates 3H2O.
Now that the coefficient of the products are determined, we can balance O. There are 6*2=12 O's in CO2 and 3*1=3 O's in H2O.  So the total number of O in the products is 12+3 = 15.  O2 is the only reactant that contains O, so to balance the equation, the coefficient of O2 should be 15/2.
Now the equation looks like:
C6H6 + 15/2O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 3H2O.
Times both sides of the equation by 2 results the final answer:
2C6H6 + 15O2 ⇒ 12CO2 + 6H2O

sergeinik [125]
The formula for molality---> m = moles solute/ Kg of solvent

the solute here is NH₃ because it's the one with less amount. which makes water the solvent.

1) let's convert the grams of NH₃ to moles using the molar mass

molar mass of NH₃= 14.0 + (3 x 1.01)= 17.03 g/ mol

15.0 g (1 mol/ 17.03 g)= 0.881 mol NH₃

2) let's convert the grams of water into kilograms (just divide by 1000)

250.0 g= 0.2500 kg

3) let's plug in the values into the molality formula

molality= mol/ Kg---> 0.881 mol/ 0.2500 kg= 3.52 m

Lowering an object decrease is potential​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Lowering the object near the ground decreases its <u>potential energy.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Potential Energy : Energy possessed by the object due to its shape ,Size and Position is called potential energy.

Example :

Change in shape and size :  When  you compress the spring , potential energy is introduced in it . So it expand quickly when you remove your hand.

Change in position : when you swing , after attaining maximum height (extreme ends) , the swing comes back on its on .This is because at maximum height ,the swing has<u> maximum Potential energy . </u>Hence it fall back on its on because it already has potential energy.

Potential energy(P) is given by the formula :

P = mgh

where ,

m= mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the object from the ground

If the height of the object increases from the ground , its potential energy also get increase.

<u><em>On lowering the object The height of the object from the ground reduces . So potential energy also reduces.</em></u>
