<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.

8). How many moles of oxygen gas must be placed in a 35.0 L container in order
klemol [59]

Answer:

4.1 moles

Explanation:

Applying

PV = nRT................ equation 1

Where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

make n the subject  of the equation

n = PV/RT.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 35 L , P = 2.8 atm, T = 15 °C  = (15+273) = 288 K, R = 0.083 L.atm/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 2

n = (35×2.8)/(0.083×288)

n = 4.1 moles

If 13 grams of copper sulfate is reacted with zinc how much of each product is produced?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

No. Of Moles of zinc = m/Ar

= 13/ 65.38 = 0.198 moles

From balanced equation, Mole ration between CuSO4 and Zn is 1 : 1

So only 0.198 moles of CuSO4 reacts, it is in excess

Mass = no of Moles X Mr

Mass = 0.198 X 159.5 = 31.59 grams

Volume = mass m denisty

Volume j 31.59 / 3.6 = 8.78 ml

Explanation:

i think this wrong
