What is the charge of a potassium (K) ion?

Why is U-235 the most common nuclear fuel instead of the more abundant U-238? State a clear topic sentence and support it with e

GREYUIT [131]

<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>

<em><u>The isotope U-235 is an important common nuclear fuel because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and use the expression 'nuclear fission'.</u></em>
<em><u>Uranium 238 on the other hand is not fissionable by thermal neutrons, but it can undergo fission from fast or high energy neutrons. Hence it is not fissile, but it is fissionable.</u></em>
In a nuclear power station fissioning of uranium atoms replaces the burning of coal or gas. Heat created by splitting the U-235 atoms is then used to make steam which spins a turbine to drive a generator, producing electricity.

Vinegar contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with percent masses of 40.01% C, 6.70% H, and 53.29% O, respectively. Determine th

kobusy [5.1K]

The empirical formula is = C2H4O2

Molecular formula=C2H4O2

<h3>Calculation of Molecular formula and empirical formula:-</h3>

Vinegar has three elements:

oxygen = 53.29%,

hydrogen = 6.70%,

and carbon = 40.01%.

We can create an equation for the total mass of vinegar with 'a' carbon atom,' b' hydrogen atom, and 'c' oxygen atoms using the molar masses of C, H, and O.

12*a + 1*b + 16*c = 60

We also know that C makes up 24 g/mol, or 40.01 percent, of the overall mass of 60 g/mol.

The formula contains two C atoms because each C atom has a molecular mass of 12 g/mol. You may determine that the formula contains 4 H and 2 O atoms by using the same reasoning for H and O.

The empirical formula is = C2H4O2

Molecular formula= (C2H4O2)n

(4 x 12 + 1 x 4 + 16 x 2)n = 60

(84)n = 60

n=60/84

n=0.71=1

Molecular formula=C2H4O2

The enthalpy of solution (∆H) of KOH is -57.6 kJ/mol. If 3.66 g KOH is dissolved in enough water to make a 150.0 mL solution, wh

Wewaii [24]

When 3.66 g of KOH (∆Hsol = -57.6 kJ/mol) is dissolved in 150.0 mL of solution, it causes a temperature change of 5.87 °C.

The enthalpy of solution of KOH is -57.6 kJ/mol. We can calculate the heat released by the solution (Qr) of 3.66 g of KOH considering that the molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.

$3.66g \times \frac{1mol}{56.11g} \times \frac{(-57.6kJ)}{mol} = -3.76 kJ$

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the solution of KOH (Qr) and the heat absorbed by the solution (Qa) is zero.

$Qr+Qa = 0\\\\Qa = -Qr = 3.76 kJ$

150.0 mL of solution with a density of 1.02 g/mL were prepared. The mass (m) of the solution is:

$150.0 mL \times \frac{1.02g}{mL} = 153 g$

Given the specific heat capacity of the solution (c) is 4.184 J/g･°C, we can calculate the change in the temperature (ΔT) of the solution using the following expression.

$Qa = c \times m \times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T = \frac{Qa}{c \times m} = \frac{3.76 \times 10^{3}J }{\frac{4.184J}{g.\° C } \times 153g} = 5.87 \° C$

When 3.66 g of KOH (∆Hsol = -57.6 kJ/mol) is dissolved in 150.0 mL of solution, it causes a temperature change of 5.87 °C.

Discuss why the solubility of CaCO33(s) would be greater in distilled water than in tap water that contains 50 mg/L of calcium i

Neporo4naja [7]

The greater, the ionic property, the greater will be solubility. water is a covalent compound where calcium carbonate is ionic that's why the solubility of $CaCO_{3}$ (s) would be greater.

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

The capability of a substance, the solvent, to combine with another substance, the solvent, has been known as solubility. Insolubility, or just the solute's inability to create that kind of a solution, would be the opposite attribute.

<h3>How does solubility depend on the ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic chemicals dissolve readily in just about any liquid that has the ability to rupture the ionic link present in them. Since water itself has a stronger ionic bond and is still polar in nature, water disrupts the ionic link by hydrogen bonding. Several other solvents, like kerosene and gasoline, are unable to dissolve the ionic bond.
