The kind of energy that is released is called NUCLEAR ENERGY.

Nuclear energy refers to the energy that is released from a radioactive element as a result of decay of the nucleus of that element. An atom is made up of three sub particles, which are proton, neutron and electrons. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the element while the electron is located at the outside of the nucleus. Radioactive elements usually undergo spontaneous decay and during the process a lot of energy is released, this energy is called nuclear energy because it comes from the decay of the nucleus of the atom of the element. Nuclear energy can be obtained as a result of nuclear fusion or nuclear fission and the energy can be used to do a lot of things such as generation of electricity.

The energy released is nuclear energy. It can be mainly due to fusion or fission. Hope this helps!

1. Why is it necessary to equalize the pressure(i.e, have the water level the same in each tube) before taking a volume reading?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

If you contact water with a gas at a certain temperature and (partial) pressure, the concentration of the gas in the water will reach an equilibrium ('saturation') according to Henry's law.

Explanation:

This means: if you increase the pressure (e.g. by keeping the vial closed), the CO2 concentration will increase. So it simply depends what concentration you need for your assay: 'CO2-saturated' water at low pressure or 'CO2-saturated' water at high pressure.

in order to find the molar mass of an unknown compound, a research scientist prepared a solution of 0.930 g of an unknown in 125
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Molar mass→ 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's apply the formula for freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m

ΔT = 74.2°C - 73.4°C → 0.8°C

Difference between the freezing T° of pure solvent and freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 5.5°C/m

So, if we replace in the formula

ΔT = Kf . m → ΔT / Kf = m

0.8°C / 5.5 m/°C = m → 0.0516 mol/kg

These are the moles in 1 kg of solvent so let's find out the moles in our mass of solvent which is 0.125 kg

0.0516 mol/kg . 0.125 kg = 6.45×10⁻³ moles. Now we can determine the molar mass:

Molar mass (mol/kg) → 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

 A chemist describes a particular experiment in this way: "0.0400 mol of H2O2 decomposed into 0.0400 mol of H2O and 0.0200 mol o
AleksandrR [38]
Description:

<span>"0.0400 mol of H2O2 decomposed into 0.0400 mol of H2O and 0.0200 mol of O2." 

This means that a certain amount of H2O2 (0.0400 mol) decomposed or was broken down into two components, 0.04 mol of H2O and 0.02 mol of O2. To examine the system, we need a balanced equation:

H2O2 ---> H2O + 0.5O2

The final concentrations of the system indicates that the system is in equilibrium. </span>
