Answer:

1)There is 2.68 * 10^-11 J of energy needed

2) The nuclear binding energy for 1 mol of Ne is 1.6 *10^13 J/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The nucleus of a21Ne atom has a amass of 20.98846 amu.

Step 2: Calculate number of protons and neutrons

The number of electrons and protons in an 21Ne atom = 10

The number of neutrons = 21 -10 =11

Step 3: mass of the atom

Mass of a proton = 1.00727647 u

Mass of a neutron = 1.0086649 u

The mass of the atom = mass of all neutrons + mass of protons

Mass of atom = 11*1.0086649 + 10*1.00727647  = 21.1680786 amu

Step 4: Calculate change of mass

The change in mass = Mass of atom - mass of neon

Δmass = 21.1680786 - 20.98846

Δmass = 0.1796186

Step 5: Calculate mass for a single nucleus

The change of mass for a single nucleus is = Δmass / number of avogadro

Δmass of nucleus = 0.1796186 / 6.022*10^23

Δmass of nucleus =2.98 * 10^-25 grams = 2.98 * 10^-28 kg

Step 6: Calculate energy to break a Ne nucleus

Calculate the amount of energy to break a Ne nucleus

ΔEnucleus = Δmass of nucleus * c²

⇒ with c = 2.9979 *10^8 m/s

ΔEnucleus = 2.98 * 10^-28 kg * (2.9979*10^8)² = 2.68 * 10^-11 J

What is the nuclear binding energy for 1 mol of Ne?

ΔE= ΔEnucleus * number of avogadro

ΔE= 2.68 * 10^-11 J * 6.022*10^23

ΔE= 1.6 *10^13 J/mol

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below:
vichka [17]

Answer:

70mol

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as:

                  2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

Given parameters:

Number of moles of acetylene = 35.0mol

Number of moles of oxygen in the tank = 84.0mol

Unknown:

Number of moles of CO₂ produced = 35.0mol

Solution:

From the information given about the reaction, we know that the reactant that limits this combustion process is acetylene. Oxygen is given in excess and we don't know the number of moles of this gas that was used up. We know for sure that all the moles of acetylene provided was used to furnish the burning procedure.

To determine the number of moles of CO₂ produced, we use the stoichiometric relationship between the known acetylene and the CO₂ produced from the balanced chemical equation:

From the equation:

         2 moles of acetylene produced 4 moles of CO₂

          ∴ 35.0 mol of acetylene would produced:  

                               \frac{35 x 4}{2} = 70mol

Sodium metal (Na) reacts explosively with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas. How many moles of sodium are n
Sati [7]

Answer:

308 moles of sodium

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the chemical reaction between sodium metal (Na) and water (H₂O) is the following:

2 Na(s) + 2 H₂O → 2 NaOH(aq) + H₂(g)

From the equation, we can see that 2 moles of Na react with 2 moles of H₂O to give 2 moles of NaOH and 1 mol of H₂ (hydrogen gas). So the stoichiometric mole ratio between Na and H₂ is: 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂. Thus, we multiply the mole ratio by the moles of H₂ to be produced to obtain the moles of Na required:

moles of Na required =  2 mol Na/1 mol H₂ x 154 moles H₂ = 308 moles Na

Therefore, 308 moles of sodium are needed to produce 154 moles of hydrogen gas.

If the half life of a radioactive isotope is 5000 years, how much of the radioactive isotope in a specimen will be left after 10
marissa [1.9K]
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case, the halflife of the radioactive isotope is 5000 years. 
Initially the mass is 100 %; thus the mass that will be left will be given by;
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n where n is the number of half lives; 
  n = 10000/5000 = 2
New mass = 100% ×(1/2)^2
                 = 100 % × 1/4 
                 = 25%
Therefore; the mass left after 10000 years is 25% or 1/4 of the original mass.

What is the relationship between the amount of substance ( concentration) and reaction rates?
jekas [21]

Answer:

Increasing the concentration of the reagents makes the collision between two molecules of the reagents more likely, thereby increasing the probability that the reaction will occur between these reagents.

As for the relationship between concentration and volume, density also comes into play, a higher volume, lower molarity and also lower concentration.

The pressure when increasing could generate a closer approach between the particles, therefore generating an increase in the reaction speed.

Pressure and volume are related but inversely proportional, therefore if the volume increases the pressure decreases and so on.

the reaction rate increases as the contact surface area increases. This is due to the fact that more solid particles are exposed and can be reached by reactant molecules.

A perfect reaction where the collision is promoted and the reaction speed advances is with the presence of a solvent, with an increase in pressure and a decrease in volume, with an increase in the exposure of the surface, with the presence of a catalyst, with increasing temperature and with increasing entrance

Explanation:

The reaction rate is defined as the amount of substance that is transformed into a certain reaction per unit of volume and time. For example, the oxidation of iron under atmospheric conditions is a slow reaction that can take many years but over time it is oxidized sooner or later by the oxygenation of its surface layer, but the combustion of butane in a fire is a reaction that happens in fractions of seconds, giving rise to an exothermic reaction with products such as CO2 and H2O
