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.

Mixing vinegar and with baking soda produces carbon dioxide and water. Is this a chemical change or a physical change?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

This is a simple chemical change due to what it produces and how it is added together. Hope this helps.

Lighting a match changes ch and energy into heat.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The answer remains the same. The total amount of energy stays the same because the 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. So the chemical energy is just being converted into heat and light.

Type the correct answer in the box. sodium carbonate (na2co3) is sometimes used as a water-softening agent. suppose that a worke

The mass of dissolved sodium carbonate is 109 g of Na₂CO₃.

<h3>What is a solution ?</h3>

A solution consists of two elements , a solute and a solvent .

A solute is dissolved into solvent to make a solution.

The concentration of a solution is measure by Molarity , Molality , mass% etc.

It is given in the question that

sodium carbonate ( Na₂CO₃) is sometimes used as a water-softening agent

a worker prepares a 0.724 m solution of Na₂CO₃ and water.

the volume of the solution is 1.421 liters.

Mass of dissolved sodium carbonate is grams =?

Concentration = 0.724 M

Volume = 1.421 liters

Molecular mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g

The mass of the solute needs to be determined

Molarity = moles / volume\

moles = Molarity x volume

Substituting the values

moles = 0.724 x 1.421

moles = 1.029

1 mol of Na₂CO₃ means 106 gm of Na₂CO₃

Then 1.029 moles will mean 1.029 * 106

109.07 gm

Therefore , the mass of dissolved sodium carbonate is 109 grams.

Which two properties are used to define matter?

Fantom [35]

The two properties which are used to define matter are that it has mass and it takes up space. The other properties do not necessarily apply to each matter. Such some matter can be a conductor of heat (such as metal) and some not (such as non metals). Likewise, some matter can be buoyant and float on liquid of density more than it but others would not on the liquids of density less than it. In-fact not all the matters are conductors of energy (such as heat, sound, electricity) or at-least a very poor conductor of energy and tend to find application as insulating agents (non conductors). So the only thing which is necessarily true is that the matter would definitely have mass in even their minutest form as atom and would take up some space.
