Answer:

2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

Explanation:

The equation for the equilibrium is

CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

                    Ka = 4.9 × 10^-10

               KaKb = Kw

4.9 × 10^-10 Kb = 1.00 × 10^-14

                   Kb = (1.00 × 10^-14)/(4.9 × 10^-10) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Now, we can set up an ICE table

                     CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

I/(mol/L)      0.255                     0         0

C/(mol/L)       -x                        +x        +x

E/(mol/L)  0.255 - x                   x         x

Ka = x^2/(0.255 - x) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Check for negligibility

0.255/(2.05 × 10^-5) = 12 000 > 400. ∴ x ≪ 0.255

    x^2 = 0.255(2.05 × 10^-5) = 5.20 × 10^-6

        x = sqrt(5.20 × 10^-6)    = 2.28 × 10^-3

[OH^-] = x mol/L                     = 2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

If a gas occupies 1532.7 mL at standard temperature, what volume does it occupy at 49.4 ºC if the pressure remains constant?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a. 1810mL

Explanation:

When conditions for a gas change under constant pressure (and the number of molecules doesn't change), it follows Charles' Law:

\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}  where the temperatures must be measured in Kelvin

To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273, or use the equation:  T_C+273=T_K

For this problem, one must also recall that standard temperature is 0°C (or 273K).

So, T_1 = 273[K], and T_2 = (49.4+273)[K]=322.4[K].

\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K])}=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K])}

\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}])}(322.4[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}] )=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})}(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})

1810.04571428[mL]=V_2

Adjusting for significant figures, this gives V_2=1810[mL]

When the u-235 nucleus is struck with a neutron, the ce-144 and sr-90 nuclei are produced, along with some neutrons and beta par
butalik [34]
Answer: 2 (2 neutrons are produced).

Explanation:

1) In the left side of the transmutation equationa appears:
²³⁵U + ¹n →

I am omitting the atomic number (subscript to the leff) because the question does not show them as it is focused on number of neutrons.


2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:

→ ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + ?

3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236

4) The total mass number of Ce and Sr on the right side is 144 + 90 = 234

5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 234 = 2 unit masses on the right side which are the 2 neutrons that are produced along with the Ce and Sr.

The complete final equation is:

²³⁵U + ¹n → ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + 2 ¹n

Where you have the two neutrons produced.

slega [8]
Yes, they can be separated by using a funnel. In the separating funnel, they are kept for resting. After they are separated they are filtered one by one.
