Answer : The mass lost in this reaction will be, 9.0\times 10^{-1}Kg

Explanation :

According to the Einstein equation, the energy is equal to the product of mass and the square of the speed of light.

The mathematical expression is :

E=m\times c^2

where,

E = energy  released = 8.1\times 10^{16}J

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

m = mass lost = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mass lost in the reaction.

8.1\times 10^{16}J=m\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2

8.1\times 10^{16}Kg.m^2/s^2=m\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2

m=9.0\times 10^{-1}Kg

Therefore, the mass lost in this reaction will be, 9.0\times 10^{-1}Kg

Using the equation below, if you have 4.3 mol of nitrogen tribromide and
ankoles [38]

Answer:

sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

The first step is usually to put down the balanced reaction equation. This is the first thing to do when solving any problem related to stoichiometry. The balanced reaction equation serves as a guide during the solution.

2NBr3 + 3NaOH = N2 + 3NaBr + 3HOBr

Let us pick nitrogen gas as our product of interest. Any of the reactants that gives a lower number of moles of nitrogen gas is the limiting reactant.

For nitrogen tribromide

From the balanced reaction equation;

2 moles of nitrogen tribromide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas

4.3 moles of nitrogen tribromide will yield 4.3 ×1/ 2 = 2.15 moles of nitrogen gas

For sodium hydroxide;

3 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas

5.9 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 5.9 × 1/ 3= 1.97 moles of nitrogen gas

Therefore, sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant.

A salt shaker filled with 17.0g sodium chloride contain how many moles?
kati45 [8]
The molecular formula for sodium chloride is NaCl. The sum of their atomic weights is (22.99 grams/mole + 35.45 grams/mole) = 58.44 grams/mole
take (17.0 grams)/(58.44 grams/mole), which equals 0.291 moles of NaCl.

Why are fixed resistors’ values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?
gladu [14]
Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.
