Answer:
in nuclear fission, an unstable atom splits into 2 or more smaller pieces that are more stable and releases energy in the process. the fission process also releases extra neutrons which can split additional atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that releases a lot of energy
Answer:
lower
Explanation:
The higher the sea level, the lower the atmospheric pressure. This is due to the density of air decreasing as the altitude increases.
Answer:
Part 1) 85.3 grams NaCl
Part 2) 8.79 x 10²³ formula units NaCl
Explanation:
<u>(Part 1)</u>
To find the mass of NaCl, you need to multiply the given value (1.46 moles) by the molar mass of NaCl. This measurement is the atomic masses of the elements times each of their quantities combined. In this case, there is only one mole of each element in the molecule. Moles should be located in the denominator of the conversion to allow for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.
Molar Mass (NaCl): 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass (NaCl): 58.44 g/mol
1.46 moles NaCl 58.44 g
--------------------------- x ---------------- = 85.3 grams NaCl
1 mole
<u>(Part 2)</u>
I do not know which other question the second part is referring to, so I will just use the moles given in the first part. To find the formula units, you need to multiply the given value (1.46 moles NaCl) by Avogadro's Number. This conversion represents the number of formula units found in 1 mole of the sample. The moles should be in the denominator of the conversion to allow for the cancellation of units.
Avogadro's Number:
1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ formula units
1.46 moles NaCl 6.022 x 10²³ units
------------------------ x ----------------------------- = 8.79 x 10²³ formula units NaCl
1 mole
