Answer:
2.8087*10^-12 kJ per mole of reaction (2.8087*10^-12 kJ/mol).
Explanation:
To calculate the energy produced, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction and determine the change in the masses of the reactants and products. Afterward, we can use the energy equation to determine the energy produced. The balanced equation for the nuclear reaction is shown below:
³₁H + ²₁H ⇒⁴₂He + ¹₀n
The masses of atoms are ³₁H is 3.01605 amu, ²₁H is 2.0140 amu, ⁴₂He is 4.00260 amu, and ¹₀n is 1.008665 amu.
change in mass Δm = (3.01605+2.0140) - (4.00260+1.008665) = 0.0188 amu
Energy produced, E = m*C^2
C is the speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s and 1 amu = 1.66*10^-27 kg
Therefore:
E = 0.0188*1.66*10^-27 * (3*10^8)^2 = 2.8087*10^-12 kJ per mole of reaction.
Therefore, in scientific notation, the energy released is 2.8087*10^-12 kJ/mol
Try looking at the question a little bit harder.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
There are two types of covalent bonding: polar covalent boding and nonpolar covalent bonding. During polar covalent bonding, the electrons are not shared evenly. This is due to the electronegativity differences between the two atoms. During nonpolar covalent bonding, the electrons are shared evenly.
