Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.
As of now, the nuclear fission is the most feasible energy source for human use. All the nuclear power plants are based on the controlled nuclear fission reaction, where the unstable nucleus is bombarded with high speed neutrons, thus, splitting the nucleus into stable ones and releasing huge amount of energy. The nuclear fusion requires very high temperature, the temperature equal's to that of the sun. Hence, it is not feasible right now. As the technology advances, we will see advancement in other form of energies.
Answer:
The final balanced equation is :
Explanation:
Balancing in acidic medium:
First we will determine the oxidation and reduction reaction from the givne reaction :
Oxidation:
Balance the charge by adding 2 electrons on product side:
....[1]
Reduction :
Balance O by adding water on required side:
Now, balance H by adding 
on the required side:
At last balance the charge by adding electrons on the side where positive charge is more:
..[2]
Adding [1] and [2]:
The final balanced equation is :
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Oxidation means lose of electrons and increase of positive charge so the part which oxidized in this equation is Zn(s) because it converted to Zn²⁺ (i.e. lost two electrons)
Answer:
The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L
The concentration sodium sulfate = 2.104 M
Step 2: The equation
Na2SO4 → 2Na+ + SO4^2-
For 1 mol Na2SO4 we have 2 moles sodium ion (Na+) and 1 mol sulfate ion (SO4^2-)
Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the ions
[Na+] = 2*2.104 M = 4.208 M
[SO4^2-] = 1*2.104 M = 2.104 M
The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)
