What happens to the mass of atoms during a nuclear reaction.

Chemistry

Damm [24]3 years ago

energy can't be created or destroyed, but mass particles can decay or tranform into others as long as the total mass/energy (remeber E=MC2) is conserved, in nuclear reactions one type of sub-atomic particle change into another, this destabilizes the nucleus forcing it to split and release a certain amount of energy in the form of massless particles

a compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol if its empirical formula is C2H5N then what is the molecular formula
Elena-2011 [213]

Given :

A compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol .

Empirical formula of compound is C₂H₅N .

To Find :

The molecular formula of the compound.

Solution :

Empirical mass of compound :

M_e = ( 2 \times 12 ) + ( 5 \times 1 ) + (  1  \times 14 )\\\\M_e = 43\ gram/mol

Now, n-factor is :

n = \dfrac{M}{M_e}\\\\n = \dfrac{129}{43}\\\\n = 3

Multiplying each atom in the formula by 3 , we get :

Molecular Formula, C₆H₁₅N₃

Which formula contains two non- metals?<br><br>BaO<br>NaBr<br>KI<br>Si O2​
Yakvenalex [24]
SiO2 is the only possible choice because the other formulas contain metals. how do we know this? because the other formulas contain elements located on the left of the “staircase” on the periodic table that separates metals from non-metals.
