(D)

Explanation:

Why (A), (B) and (C) don't make sense:

(A) you can't get high energies by breaking low-energy bonds. Simple law of energy conservation at work prevents it from happening.

(B) & (C) adding protons to the nucleus is not feasible due to the natural repulsion between protons. By the same token, protons cannot be removed from the nucleus by external means because of the incredibly powerful nuclear forces that bind the protons and neutrons together.

Why (D) is the correct answer:

It takes a lot of energy to hold the nucleus together. But by introducing neutrons into the nucleus, the nucleus can be rendered unstable and become radioactive. So when the nucleus breaks up, the energy that used to hold it together is now released and this energy can be harnessed to generate power.

A sample of xenon gas occupies a volume of 6.80 L at 52.0°C and 1.05 atm. If it is desired to increase the volume of the gas sam

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

207.03°C

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

V1 (initial volume) = 6.80 L

T1 (initial temperature) = 52.0°C = 52 + 273 = 325K

P1 (initial pressure) = 1.05 atm

V2 (final volume) = 7.87 L

P2 (final pressure) = 1.34 atm

T2(final temperature) =?

Using the general gas equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the final temperature of the gas sample can be obtained as follow:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

1.05 x 6.8/325 = 1.34 x 7.87/T2

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

1.05 x 6.8 x T2 = 325 x 1.34 x 7.87

Divide both side by 1.05 x 6.8

T2 = (325 x 1.34 x 7.87) /(1.05 x 6.8)

T2 = 480.03K

Now, let us convert 480.03K to a number in celsius scale. This is illustrated below:

°C = K - 273

°C = 480.03 - 273

°C = 207.03°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the gas will be 207.03°C

The vapor pressure of water at 25.0°C is 23.8 torr. Determine the mass of glucose (molar mass = 180 g/mol) needed to add to 500.

mrs_skeptik [129]

According to Raoult's law the relative lowering of vapour pressure of a solution made by dissolving non volatile solute is equal to the mole fraction of the non volatile solute dissolved.

the relative lowering of vapour pressure is the ratio of lowering of vapour pressure and vapour pressure of pure solvent

$\frac{p^{0-}p}{p^{0}}=x_{B}$

Where

xB = mole fraction of solute=?

$p^{0}=23.8torr$

p = 22.8 torr

$x_{B}=\frac{23.8-22.8}{23.8}=0.042$

mole fraction is ratio of moles of solute and total moles of solute and solvent

moles of solvent = mass / molar mass = 500 /18 = 27.78 moles

putting the values

$molefraction=\frac{molessolute}{molesolute+molessolvent}$

$0.042=\frac{molessolute}{27.78+molessolute}$

$1.167+0.042(molesolute)=molessolute$

$molessolute=1.218$

mass of glucose = moles X molar mass = 1.218 X 180 = 219.24 grams

In stomach, Hydrochloric acid kills micro-organisms in the food. Stomach juices begin to break down p to amino acids. Stomach ju

Butoxors [25]

$\huge{ \underline{ \boxed{ \bf{ \green{Answer:}}}}}$

Inside the stomach, Hydrochloric acid kills micro-organisms in the food. Stomach juices begin to break down proteins to amino acids.

✤ So, Fill the blank with proteins.

<h3>Explanation:-</h3>

Inside the stomach, the digestion of proteins starts due to the action of pepsin enzyme.
But this enzyme remains inactive and is activated by the Hydrochloric acid(HCl).
The Hydrochloric acid also helps in killing the germs and microbes which entered along with food.
The mucous lines the wall of stomach to protect it from the harm caused by HCl because HCl is a strong acid.
In stomach, The partial digestion of proteins occur and rest is digested in the small intestine by Trypsin(Pancreatic enzyme) and Intestinal juices.
