Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atoms to make heavier atoms. This releases a huge amount of energy and it is what stars like our sun use to create energy.

Consider the reaction of peroxydisulfate ion (S2O2−8) with iodide ion (I−) in aqueous solution: S2O2−8(aq)+3I−(aq)→2SO2−4(aq)+I−

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

r = 3.61x $10^{-6}$ M/s

Explanation:

The rate of disappearance (r) is given by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reagents, each one raised of the coefficient of the reaction.

r = k. $[S2O2^{-8} ]^{x} x [I^{-} ]^{y}$

K is the constant of the reaction, and doesn't depends on the concentrations. First, let's find the coefficients x and y. Let's use the first and the second experiments, and lets divide 1º by 2º :

$\frac{r1}{r2} = \frac{0.018^{x} x0.036^{y} }{0.027^xx0.036^y}$

$\frac{2.6x10^{-6}}{3.9x10^{-6}} = (\frac{0.018}{0.027})^xx(\frac{0.036}{0.036})^y$

$0.67 = 0.67^x$

x = 1

Now, to find the coefficient y let's do the same for the experiments 1 and 3:

$\frac{r1}{r3} = \frac{0.018x0.036^y}{0.036x0.054^y}$

$\frac{2.6x10^{-6}}{7.8x10^{-6}} = (\frac{0.018}{0.036})x(\frac{0.036}{0.054})^y$

$0.33 = 0.5x 0.67^y$

$0.67 = 0.67^y$

y = 1

Now, we need to calculate the constant k in whatever experiment. Using the first :

$2.6x10^{-6} = kx0.018x0.036$ $kx6.48x10^{-4} = 2.6x10^{-6}$

k = 4.01x10^{-3} M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]

Using the data given,

r = $4.01x10^{-3}x1.8x10^{-2}x5.0x10^{-2}$

r = 3.61x $10^{-6}$ M/s

Which statement is correct about the location of electrons in an atom according to the Quantum mechanical model? A) Electrons ar

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

B) Electrons are located in the cloud-like areas around the nucleus.

Explanation:

The quantum mechanical model of the atom does not consider the path through which an electron travels. It rather estimates the probability of where electrons can be found at each energy level.

The region of maximum probability of where an electron is located is sometimes called an electron cloud or orbital. Each orbital of an atom and the electrons accomodated are described completely by a set of four quantum numbers.

the element carbon has two common isotopes: C-12 (12 U) AND C-13 (13.003355 U). IF THE AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS OF CARBON IS 12.0107

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The percent isotopic abundance of C- 12 is 98.93 %

The percent isotopic abundance of C- 13 is 1.07 %

Explanation:

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of carbon, C-12 (12u) and C-13 (13.003355)

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 13.003355

1-x for isotopes having mass 12

The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.0107

we will use the following equation,

13.003355x + 12 (1-x) = 12.0107

13.003355x + 12 - 12x = 12.0107

13.003355x- 12x = 12.0107 -12

1.003355x = 0.0107

x= 0.0107/1.003355

x= 0.0107

0.0107 × 100 = 1.07 %

1.07 % is abundance of C-13 because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of C-12.

(1-x)

1-0.0107 =0.9893

0.9893 × 100= 98.93 %

98.93 % for C-12.
