Calculate the energy released in each of the following fusion reactions. Give your answers in MeV. (a) 2H + 3H → 4He + n 17.54 C

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a) E = 17.55 MeV

b) E = 18.99 MeV

c) E = 3.29 MeV

d) You can use the methods applied for the other parts to solve this, the equation is not properly written

e) E = 4.075 MeV

Explanation:

Energy Released, $E = \triangle M * 931.5$

$\triangle M = \sum M_{product} - \sum M_{reactant}$

Mass of 1H, $M_{H} = 1.007823$

Mass of 2H, $M_{2H} = 2.0141u$

Mass of 3H, $M_{3H} = 3.016 u$

Mass of Helium, $M_{4He} = 4.002602u$

Mass of Beryllium, $M_{7Be} = 7.01693 u$

Mass of neutron, $M_{n} = 1.008664 u$

a) $2H + 3H \rightarrow 4He + n$

$\triangle M = (4M_{He} + M_{n} ) - (2M_{H} + 3 M_{H} )\\\triangle M = ( 4.0026 + 1.008664) - (2.0141 + 3.016 )\\\triangle M = -0.01884u$

Energy released,

$E = -0.01884 * 931.5\\E = -17.55 Mev$

Energy released = 17.55 MeV

b) $4He + 4He \rightarrow 7Be + n$

$\triangle M = (M_{7Be} + M_{n} ) - (M_{4He} + M_{4He} )\\\triangle M = ( 7.01693 + 1.008664) - (4.002602 + 4.002602 )\\\triangle M = 0.02039 u$

Energy released,

$E = 0.02039 * 931.5\\E = 18.99 Mev$

c) $2H + 2H \rightarrow 3 He$ + n

$\triangle M = (M_{3He} + M_{n} ) - (M_{2H} + M_{2H} )\\\triangle M = ( 3.016 + 1.008664) - (2.0141 + 2.0141 )\\\triangle M = -0.003536 u$

Energy released,

$E = -0.003536 * 931.5\\E = -3.29 Mev$

E = 3.29 MeV(Energy is released)

d) You can use the methods applied for the other parts to solve this, the equation is not properly written

e) $2H + 2H \rightarrow 3H + 1H$

$\triangle M = (M_{3H} + M_{1H} ) - (M_{2H} + M_{2H} )\\\triangle M = ( 3.016 + 1.007825) - (2.0141 + 2.0141 )\\\triangle M = -0.00435 u$

$E = -0.00435 * 931.5\\E =-4.075 Mev$

E = 4.075 MeV ( Energy is released)

14) The central iodine atom in the ICl4- ion has __________ nonbonded electron pairs and __________ bonded electron pairs in its

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Two non bonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs

Explanation:

An image of the compound as obtained from chemlibretext is attached to this answer.

The ion ICl4- ion, is an AX4E2 ion. This implies that there are four bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. As expected, the shape of the ion is square planar since the lone pairs are found above and below the plane of the square. This is clear from the image attached.

In a certain city, electricity costs $ 0.18 per kW ⋅ h . What is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamppost for 5.00 h

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The cost of electricity for 100 W power bulb = $ 32.85

Cost of electricity for 0.025 W fluorescent bulb = $ 8.2125

Explanation:

Cost of electricity = $ 0.18 per KW-H

Time = 5 hour per day

Bulb power = 100 W = 0.1 KW

Fluorescent bulb power = 25 W = 0.025 KW

(a) Cost of electricity for 100 W power bulb

0.1 × 5 × 365 × 0.18 = $ 32.85

(b) Cost of electricity for 0.025 W fluorescent bulb

0.025 × 5 × 365 × 0.18 = $ 8.2125

Therefore the cost of electricity for 100 W power bulb = $ 32.85

Cost of electricity for 0.025 W fluorescent bulb = $ 8.2125
