Described uranium (a type of nuclear fuel)​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Uranium are being used as nuclear fuel as it easily split away the atoms.

Explanation:

Uranium are generally used as fuel for nuclear fission reaction in the nuclear power plants. They use U-235 as fuel, as it can split away the atoms easily. Other than silver, uranium is more common but its availability is very low.i.e. only 0.7%. when U-235 absorbs neutron, it undergoes nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus gets splitted over two or even more lighter nuclei, along with release of kinetic energy, gamma rays and also some free electrons.

If you have a gold brick that is 2cm by 3cm by 4cm and has density of 19.3g/cm3, what is its mass?
natulia [17]
Volume = a x a x a  

V = 2 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm => 24 cm³

Density = 19.3 g/cm³

Mass = ?

Therefore:

m = D x V

m = 19.3 x 24

m = 463.2 g

A 50.5 L flask contains 3.25 mol of an unknown gas at 288.6 K, what is the pressure of<br> this gas?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

1.52atm is the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

To solve this question we must use the general gas law:

PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure in atm = Our incognite</em>

<em>V is volume = 50.5L</em>

<em>n are moles of gas = 3.25moles</em>

<em>R is gas constat = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>And T is absolute temperature = 288.6K</em>

To solve pressure:

P = nRT / V

P = 3.25mol*0.082atmL/molK*288.6K / 50.5L

P = 1.52atm is the pressure of the gas

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
DedPeter [7]

Answer: X is a Solid; Y is a Gas

Explanation:

There are three (3) states of matter. They are: Solid, Liquid and Gases.

Substance X and Y, belong to the states of matter.

A Solid is a substance that retains its SIZE and SHAPE without need of a container (as opposed to a liquid or gas).

Thus, it will most likely be concluded that: substance X is a Solid; while Y is a Gas

Problem 4
Hunter-Best [27]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.93 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

The chemical equation;

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) ΔH = -3120 kJ​

We are required to calculate the mass of ethane that would produce 100 kJ of heat.

  • From the equation given;
  • 2 moles of ethane burns to produce 3120 Kilo joules of heat
  • Therefore;

Number of moles that will produce 100 kJ will be;

= (2 × 100 kJ) ÷ 3120 kJ)

= 0.0641 moles

  • But, molar mass of ethane is 30.07 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass of ethane = 0.0641 moles × 30.07 g/mol

                          = 1.927 g

                          = 1.93 g

Thus, the mass of ethane that would produce 100 kJ of heat is 1.93 g
