This was the first-ever use of an atomic bomb in warfare, and it used one famous element to wreak its havoc: uranium. This radioactive metal is unique in that one of its isotopes, uranium-235, is the only naturally occurring isotope capable of sustaining a nuclear fission reaction.

The isotope U-235 is important because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and we use the expression 'nuclear fission'. Meanwhile, like all radioactive isotopes, they decay.

Iron is extracted from iron oxide in the Blast Furnace: Fe 2 O 3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO 2

arsen [322]

a. mass of iron = 69.92 g

b. percent yield = 93%

<h3>Further eplanation </h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

a.

Reaction

Fe₂O₃+3CO⇒2Fe+3CO₂

MW Fe₂O₃ : 159.69 g/mol

mol Fe₂O₃

$\tt \dfrac{100}{159,69}=0.626$

mol Fe₂O₃ : mol Fe = 1 : 2

mol Fe :

$\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.626=1.252$

mass of Fe(Ar=55.845 g/mol) :

$\tt 1.252\times 55.845=69.92~g$

b.

actual yield = 65 g

theoretical yield = 69.92 g

percent yield :

$\tt =\dfrac{65}{69.92}=0.93=93\%$

A solution contains 1 LaTeX: \times\:×10−4 M OH– ions. Calculate the solution pH value, and determine if the solution is acidic,

oksano4ka [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH value of the solution is 10 and the solution is basic in nature.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of the solution, we need to determine pOH of the solution. To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=1\times 10^{-4}M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log(1\times 10^{-4})\\\\pOH=4$

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH+pOH=14\\pH=14-4=10$

There are three types of solution: acidic, basic and neutral

To determine the type of solution, we look at the pH values.

The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9
The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14
The pH of neutral solution is 7.

As, the pH of the solution is 10 and is lying in the range of basic solution, so the solution is basic in nature.
