Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The use of Uranium - 234 to generate electricity depends on a fission reaction. The uranium nuclide is bombarded by fast moving neutrons leading to a chain reaction. Control rods and moderators are used to keep the nuclear reaction under control.

As the nuclear reaction proceeds, heat is generated and steam is consequently produced. This steam is used to turn a turbine and electricity is thereby generated.

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in this li

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

-179.06 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced reaction.

HCl(g) + NaOH(s) ⟶ NaCl(s) + H₂O(l)

We can calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction (ΔH°r) using the following expression.

ΔH°r = 1 mol × ΔH°f(NaCl(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O(l)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(HCl(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(NaOH(s))

ΔH°r = 1 mol × (-411.15 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-285.83 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-92.31 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-425.61 kJ/mol)

ΔH°r = -179.06 kJ

How to solve 5gNaCl= MolE NaCl

valentinak56 [21]

0.086mole

Explanation:

The problem is very simple. It involves conversion from mass to number of moles of NaCl

What is mole?

A mole is a unit of measuring chemical substances. It is the amount that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

How is it related and can be converted from mass;

Number of moles of a substance = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Since we know the mass, we can find the molar mass and put into this equation;

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles of NaCl = $\frac{5}{58.5} =$ 0.086mole

If a Kleenex box has a length of 8cm, width or 2cm, and a height of 4cm what is the volume of the Kleenex box?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The volume of the Kleenex box is 64 cm.

Explanation:

Volume = B x W x H

So: V = 8cm x 2cm x 4cm = 64cm
