Answer:

Energy released by 1 g of U-235 = 7.603 * 10¹⁰ J

Explanation:

Uranium-235, U-235 undergoes neutron-induced fission to give the following products:

1 neutron + ²³⁵U --> ¹⁴¹Ba + ⁹²Kr + 3 neutrons

Masses of reactants and products:

neutron = 1.009 amu, uranium-235 = 235.044 amu, Ba-141 = 140.910 amu, Kr-92 = 91.910 amu

mass defect = mass of reactants - mass of products

mass defect = (235.044 + 1.009) - (140.910 + 91.910 + 3 * 1.009)

mass defect = 236.053 - 235.847 = 0.206 amu

1 amu = 1.6 * 10⁻²⁷ kg

Using E = mc²

E = 0.206 * 1.6* 10⁻²⁷ kg * (3 * 10⁸ m/s)² = 2.966 * 10⁻¹¹ J

therefore, 1 atom of U-235 releases 2.966 * 10⁻¹¹ J of energy

energy released by 1 g of U-235 can be calculated as follows:

1 mole or 253 g of U-235 contains 6.02 * 10³ atoms

1 g of U-235 will contain 6.02 * 10³/235 = 2.563 * 10²¹ atoms

Energy released by 1 g of U-235 = 2.563 * 10²¹ * 2.966 * 10⁻¹¹ J = 7.603 * 10¹⁰ J

The main reason that cs2 has a higher boiling point than co2 is that cs2

OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Inspite of having similar intermolecular forces, CS2 has a higher boiling point than CO2, since it has a greater molar mass. The potential energy of molecules reduces until a certain level as they get closer to each other. Although the polarity of both CO2 and CS2 are cancelled because of their linear structure.

What is the IUPAC name for this product?

mihalych1998 [28]

The IUPAC name for the given product is 2 chloro Butane.

<h3>What is IUPAC nomenclature?</h3>

IUPAC stands for 'International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry', which givers some rule for designing the name of compounds of chemistry.

In the given product total four carbon atoms are present and between all of them single bonds are present.
In the second carbon atom, chlorine group is present.
During the nomenclature process, first we write down the name of the attached group which is followed by the alkane chain.

Hence name of the product is 2 chloro Butane.

Use bond energies from Table 10.3 in the textbook to estimate the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the following reaction. C2H2(g)+H2(g)

Digiron [165]

Answer: $=176.6kJmol^{-1}$

Explanation:Bond energy of H-H is 436.4 kJ/mole

Bond energy of C-H is 414 kJ/mol

Bond energy of C=C is 620 kJ/mol

Bond energy of C≡C is 835 kJ/mol

$\Delta H= {\text {sum of bond energies of reactants}}- {\text {sum of bond energies of products}}$

$\Delta H$ = {1B.E(C≡C)+2B.E(C-H) +1B.E(H-H)} - {1B.E(C=C)+4B.E(C-H)}

$\Delta H= {1B.E(835kJmole^{-1})+2B.E(414kJmole^{-1}) +1B.E(436.4kJmole^{-1})} - {1B.E(620kJmole^{-1})+4B.E(414kjmole^{-1})}$

$=176.6kJmol^{-1}$

What is the concentration of a solution that has 15.0 g NaCl dissolved to a total of 750 ml?

Oksana_A [137]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of solution is 0.342 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Mass of solute (Sodium chloride) = 15 g

Molar mass of sodium chloride = 58.5 g/mol

Volume of solution = 750 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{15g\times 1000}{58.5g/mol\times 750mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.342M$

Hence, the concentration of solution is 0.342 M
