How much energy would be released if 0.00046 kg of plutonium were converted to energy through radioactive decay?

1 answer:

3 0

Rdaioactive decay results in the formation of a different element. Plutonium decays by emitting alpha emission to form uranium. Thermal energy is emitted as the alpha particles are absorbed and the kinetic energy is converted to heat. The amount of energy is computed by the formula;
E = mc²
E = 0.000046 × (3 ×10^8)
Energy = 4.14 ×10^13 Joules

Consider a reactant with an order of 1: What effect does that reactant have on the rate equation when the concentration is doubl

____ [38]

Answer:

1) The reaction rate is double with respect to that reactant

Explanation:

Hello,

By considering the rate law:

$-r_A=kC_A$

If we double the reactant A concentration, by definition, the rate will be doubled as well since the $C_A$ power is one (order 1), this could be proved just by checking it out in the rate law.

Best regards.

The central Xe atom in the XeF4 molecule has ________ unbonded electron pair(s) and ________ bonded electron pair(s) in its vale

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Lewis structure in attachment.

Explanation:

Atoms of elements in and beyond the third period of the periodic table form some compounds in which more than eight electrons surround the central atom. In addition to the 3s and 3p orbitals, elements in the third period also have 3d orbitals that can be used in bonding. These orbitals enable an atom to form an expanded octet.

The central Xe atom in the XeF₄ molecule has two unbonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.
