Which type of nuclear energy involves splitting atoms

1 answer:

7 0

That would be nuclear fission. This occurs at a rapid level in the Atom Bomb. That is a chain reaction causing an explosion whereas the nuclear fission that occurs in a nuclear reactor is controlled.

How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 12.0 grams of octane(C8H18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline?

solniwko [45]

Answer : 42 grams of oxygen are required.

Explanation :

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation.

The combustion reaction of octane with oxygen can be written as,

$2 C_{8}H{18} (g) + 25 O_{2} (g) \rightarrow 16 CO_{2} (g) +18 H_{2}O (g)$

Step 2 : Find moles of octane.

The given mass of octane is 12 g

Molar mass of octane is 114.2 g/mol

The moles of octane are calculated as,

$moles =\frac{grams}{MolarMass} =\frac{12g}{114.2g/mol} = 0.105 mol$

We have 0.105 mol octane.

Step 3: Use mole ratio from balanced equation to find moles of O₂

The mole ratio of octane and O₂ is 2 : 25. Let us use this as a conversion factor.

$0.105 mol C_{8}H_{18} \times\frac{25mol O_{2}}{2molC_{8}H_{18}} = 1.31 mol$

We have 1.31 mol O₂.

Step 4 : Convert moles of O₂ to grams.

The molar mass of O₂ is 32 g/mol.

The grams of O₂ can be calculated as,

$1.31 mol O_{2} \times\frac{32g}{mol} = 42 grams$

42 grams of oxygen are required.

How many moles of H2 are in a flask with a volume of 2500 mL at a pressure of 30.0 kPa and a temperature of 27oC?

quester [9]

Answer:

0.0300 moles of H₂

Explanation:

The original equation is PV = nRT. We need to change this to show moles (n).

n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

It's important to convert your values to match the constant (r) in terms of units.

30.0 kPa = 0.296 atm

2500 mL = 2.50 L

27 °C = 300 K

Now, plug those values in to solve:

n = $\frac{(0.296)(2.50)}{(0.0821)(300)}$ - for the sake of keeping the problem clean, I didn't include the units but you should just to make sure everything cancels out :)

Finally, you are left with n = 0.0300 moles of H₂

Electromagnetic radiation with _______ wavelengths is called ultraviolet light

andre [41]

Answer:

10nm

Explanation:

Ultraviolet (UV) is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength from 10 nm (with a corresponding frequency of approximately 30 PHz) to 400 nm (750 THz), shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.
