Energy and mass equivalence

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy does not apply to nuclear reactions, the law of conservation of mass-energy makes more sense in this regard.

In nuclear reactions mass is transformed into energy. Therefore, it does not conform with the law of conservation of energy.

According to the law of conservation of energy "energy is neither created no destroyed but they are transformed from one form to another. "
In nuclear reactions, mass is usually lost. Mass is not conserved.
But, the mass is converted into energy and we say there is mass and energy equivalence for nuclear reactions.

Answer:

The number of atoms in the outermost shell

Explanation:

For example, the electron shells in the alkali metals contain the following numbers of electrons:

Li: 2, 1

Na: 2, 8, 1

K: 2, 8, 8, 1

They all have one electron in their outermost shell, and they have similar chemical properties.

Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane

Annette [7]

The bond angle in the Water Molecule is approx. 104.5 degrees. The methane molecule is approx. 109.5 degrees. The differences, is due to the force from the surrounding molecules and atoms. For example the Lone pairs of electrons.

If nitrogen (N) has 2 naturally occurring isotopes, nitrogen-14 (78.3%) and nitrogen-16 (21.7%), what is its average r.a.m.?

leva [86]

Answer:

14.434 r.a.m.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of its isotopes in which the sum of the abundance of each isotope is equal to 1 or 100%.

∵ The atomic mass of N = ∑(atomic mass of each isotope)(its abundance)

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16)

atomic mass of N-14 = 14.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-14 = percent of N-14/100 = 78.3/100 = 0.783.

atomic mass of N-16 = 16.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-16 = percent of N-16/100 = 21.7/100 = 0.217.

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16) = (14.0 r.a.m)(0.783) + (16.0 r.a.m)(0.217) = 14.434 r.a.m.

Consider 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. To produce 1.2 g water, how many grams of H2 are required? Report to the correct number of significant

Elden [556K]

Answer:

0.133 mol (corrected to 3 sig.fig)

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of H=1.0, and O=16.0,

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

so no. of moles of H2O produced = 1.2 / (1.0x2+16.0)

= 0.0666666 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of H2:H2O = 2:2 = 1:1,

meaning every 1 mole of H2 reacted gives out 1 mole of water.

So, the no, of moles of H2 required should equal to the no, of moles of H2O produced, which is also 0.0666666 moles.

mass = no. of moles x molar mass

hence,

mass of H2 required = 0.066666666 x (1.0x2)

= 0.133 mol (corrected to 3 sig.fig)
