Even though we have known of many nuclear energy technologies for about one century some of these technologies have not yet been

fully developed. Obtaining energy from thorium remains a challenge for many reasons. In a reactor, thorium is bombarded with neutrons and becomes U-233 and then U-234, which can undergo fission and produce energy. Complete the following U-234 fission reaction. Hint: Do not ignore the amount of energy given off by the reaction! 234.0 tlu . i37 154Xe + 3?Sr + 3 1.0087n + 180 MeV

<u>Answer:</u> The nuclear fission reaction of U-234.043 is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

^{234.043}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{137.159}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+^{A}_{38}\textrm{Sr}+3^{1.0087}_0\textrm{n}+180MeV

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

234.043 = 137.159 + A + 3(1.0087)

A = 93.858

Now, the chemical equation becomes:

^{234.043}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{137.159}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+^{93.858}_{38}\textrm{Sr}+3^{1.0087}_0\textrm{n}+180MeV

Hence, the nuclear fission reaction of U-234.043 is written above.

Why do airbags fill evenly with gases?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The signal from the deceleration sensor ignites the gas-generator mixture by an electrical impulse, creating the high-temperature condition necessary for NaN3 to decompose. The nitrogen gas that is generated then fills the airbag.

basically, the nitrogen fills the bag

A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be (C_6H_{12}O)_n

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.

Calculate the hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous solution with a ph of 9.85 at 25°c.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.41 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Explanation:

We have a solution with a pH of 9.85 at 25 °C. We can calculate the concentration of H⁺ using the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH

[H⁺] = antilog -9.85

[H⁺] = 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

H⁺ is usually associated with water molecules forming hydronium ions.

H⁺ + H₂O → H₃O⁺

Then, the concentration of H₃O⁺ ions is 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁰ M.
