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

Chemistry

Damm [24]2 years ago
5 0


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

In the decomposition reaction, 1 mole of water (mw = 18.015 g/mol) was produced for every mole of cuo (mw = 79.545 g/mol) produc
natita [175]

Reactives -> Products

CuO and water are products.

I found this reaction which has CuO and water as products: decomposition of Cu(OH)2.

Cu(OH)2 -> CuO + H2O

Stoichiometry calculus involve the mole proportions you can see in the reaction: When 1 mole of Cu(OH)2 reacts, 1 mole of CuO and 1 mole of H2O are formed.

Considering the molar masses:

Cu(OH)2 = 83.56 g/mol

CuO = 79.545 g/mol

H2O = 18.015 g/mol

Then: When 83.56 g of Cu(OH)2 react, 79.545 g of CuO and 18.015 g H2O are formed.

You should use that numbers in the rule of three:

79.545 g CuO __________18.015 g water

3.327 g CuO__________ x =3.327*18.015 /79.545 g water 

x= 0.7535 g water

A lake in rural maine drops in ph from 7 to 5 as a result of acid rain falling into it. how has the h+ ion concentration change
Jlenok [28]
The H+ concentration in the lake has increased as a result of the acid rain.
The original pH of the lake was 7, which mean the water is neutral, but due to the acid rain, it drops to 5. This means, that the water has become acidic and how have more hydrogen ion. The H+ concentration in the lake has 100 times compares with its original pH.

What is the change in air pressure over a given distance called? wind speed air pressure force factor air pressure gradient​
lubasha [3.4K]

The change in pressure over a given distance is defined as a pressure gradient. The strength of this pressure gradient determines how fast the wind moves from higher pressure toward lower pressure. A stronger pressure gradient will cause stronger winds, as shown in Figure 2. >> Balanced in the vertical by the force of gravity

State the definition of the partial molar Gibbs energy.
balu736 [363]

Explanation :

As we know that the Gibbs free energy is not only function of temperature and pressure but also amount of each substance in the system.

G=G(T,P,n_1,n_2)

where,

n_1\text{ and }n_2 is the amount of component 1 and 2 in the system.

Partial molar Gibbs free energy : The partial derivative of Gibbs free energy with respect to amount of component (i) of a mixture when other variable (T,P,n_j) are kept constant are known as partial molar Gibbs free energy of i^{th} component.

For a substance in a mixture, the chemical potential (\mu) is defined as the partial molar Gibbs free energy.

The expression will be:

\bar{G_i}=\mu_i=\frac{\partial G}{\partial n_i}_{(T,P,n_j)}

where,

T = temperature

P = pressure

n_i\text{ and }n_j is the amount of component 'i' and 'j' in the system.
