Why does earth have uranium

Chemistry

padilas [110]3 years ago

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.

उस पदार्थ या यौगिक को अभिकर्मक (reagent) कहते हैं जो किसी तंत्र में रासायनिक अभिक्रिया उत्पन्न करने के लिये डाला या मिलाया जाता है। उस पदार्थ को भी अभिकर्मक कहेंगे जिसे यह जांचने के लिये मिलाया जाता है कि कोई अभिक्रिया होती है या नहीं। इस तरह के कुछ वैश्लेषिक अभिकर्मक हैं - फेहलिंग का अभिकर्मक (Fehling's reagent), मिलॉन का अभिकर्मक (Millon's reagent) तथा टॉलीन का अभिकर्मक (Tollens' reagent)।

H2CO3(aq) + H200 H30 (aq) + HCO3 (aq).
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}

Explanation:

Several rules should be followed to write any equilibrium expression properly. In the context of this problem, we're dealing with an aqueous equilibrium:

  • an equilibrium constant is, first of all, a fraction;
  • in the numerator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our products (right-hand side of the equation);
  • in the denominator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our reactants (left-hand side o the equation);
  • each concentration should be raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation;
  • only aqueous species and gases are included in the equilibrium constant, solids and liquids are omitted.

Following the guidelines, we will omit liquid water and we will include all the other species in the constant. Each coefficient in the balanced equation is '1', so no powers required. Multiply the concentrations of the two products and divide by the concentration of carbonic acid:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}

xxTIMURxx [149]
The point at which one drop of base turns the acid indicator into a pink color that lasts for thirty seconds in doing titration is called the end point or the equivalence point.

End point or the equivalence point is the one responsible for the pink color that lasts for thirty seconds.

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2(aq)) is proposed to follow a reaction mechanism of: Step 1: H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq)→H2O(
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Option (1) Br– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a faster pathway with Br– than without

Explanation:

Let us consider the equation below:

Step 1:

H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq) → H2O(l) + BrO–(aq)

Step 2:

BrO–(aq) + H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + O2(g) + Br–(aq)

From the above equation, we can see that Br– is unchanged.

This implies that Br– is the catalyst as catalyst does not take part in a chemical reaction but they create an alternate pathway to lower the activation energy in order for the reaction to proceed at a much faster rate to arrive at the products.
