Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

A 0.877 mol sample of N2(g) initially at 298 K and 1.00 atm is held at constant volume while enough heat is applied to raise the

MissTica

Answer : The value of $q\text{ and }\Delta U$ is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of sample = 0.877 mol

Change in temperature = 15.7 K

First we have to calculate the heat absorbed by the system.

Formula used :

$q=n\times c_v\times \Delta T$

where,

q = heat absorbed by the system = ?

n = moles of sample = 0.877 mol

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 15.7 K

$c_v$ = heat capacity at constant volume of $N_2$ (diatomic molecule) = $\frac{5}{2}R$

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$q=0.877mol\times \frac{5}{2}\times 8.314J/mol.K\times 15.7K$

$q=286.2J$

Now we have to calculate the change in internal energy of the system.

$\Delta U=q+w$

As we know that, work done is zero at constant volume. So,

$\Delta U=q=286.2J$

Therefore, the value of $q\text{ and }\Delta U$ is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.
