Answer:

3.00 x 10^-11 joules / atom of U-235

Explanation:

We know that the formula for Power = Work done (w)/Time (t)

We need to get the joules from power , since Joules is the SI unit of work.

From the formula P = W/t

W = Power (P) * Time (t)

The SI unit for Time is seconds, hence we change 1 year in seconds

1yr * 365 days/yr * 24hrs/day * 60mins/hr * 60 secs/min = 31536000 secs

It was stated in the question that the plant operates at an efficiency of 40%,

Thus to get the true power we divide the power provided in the question by 0.4 or 40%

= X(0.4) = 1042MW

True Power X = 1042/0.4 = 2605MW

Thus true power = 2605 * 10^6 Watts

Now we have the time in seconds and true power in Watts, we then find the work done.

From our above formula P = W/t

W = P*t = (2605* 10^6) (31536000) =

Finally, we can solve for our energy (work):

P = W / T        PT = W = (2880x10^6) (31536000) = 8.22 x 10^16 joules

We then calculate the amount of energy released by only 1 single uranium-235 atom.

= 8.22 x 10^16 joules / 1.07x10^6 g U-235 (235 g / 1 mol)(1 mol/6.0210^23 atoms)

= 3.00 x 10^-11 joules / atom of U-235

156. A solid metal sphere has a volume of 4.2 ft}. The mass
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.59 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

To find the density of the sphere we use the formula

<h2>Density \:  =  \frac{mass}{volume}</h2>

To find the density in g/cm³ first convert the mass into grams and the volume into cm³

For the mass we have

155 lb = 70306.82 g

For the volume

4.2 ft³ = 118930.76 cm³

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

<h2>Density \:  =  \frac{70306.82  \: g}{118930.76  \: cm³}</h2>

We have the final answer as

<h3>Density = 0.59 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Silver can be electroplated at the cathode of an electrolysis cell by the half-reaction. Ag+(aq)+e−→Ag(s) Part A Silver can be e
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: Mass of silver deposited at the cathode is 37.1g

Explanation: According to Faraday Law of Electrolysis, the mass of substance deposited at the electrode (cathode or anode) is directly proportional to quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte

Faraday has found that to liberate one gm eq. of substance from an electrolyte, 96500C of electricity is required.

Ag^+ +e− ==> Ag(s)

Given that

Current (I) = 8.5A

Time (t) = 65 *60 = 3900s

Quantity of electricity passed = 8.5*3900 =33150C

Molar mass of Ag= 108g

96500C will liberate 108g

33150C will liberate Xg

Xg= (108*33150)/96500

=37.1g

Therefore the mass of Ag deposited at the cathode is 37.1g.
