The radioactivity of U-235 is of low intensity. Why then were the people of Hiroshima exposed to high intensity radiation in the

days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped?

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.

Commercial grade HCl solutions are typically 39.0% (by mass) HCl in water. Determine the molality of the HCl, if the solution ha
marta [7]

Molality of the solution is defined as the number of moles of a substance dissolved divided by the mass of the solvent:

Molality = number of moles / solvent mass

From the concentration of 39% (by mass) of HCl in water, we construct the following  reasoning:

in 100 g solution we have 39 g hydrochloric acid (HCl)

number of moles  = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of HCl = 39 / 36.5 = 1.07 moles

solvent (water) mass = solution mass - hydrochloric acid mass

solvent (water) mass = 100 - 39 = 61 g

Now we can determine the molality:

molality = 1.07 moles / 61 g = 0.018

A buffer solution is composed of 4.00 4.00 mol of acid and 3.25 3.25 mol of the conjugate base. If the p K a pKa of the acid is
Reika [66]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 4.61

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})

We are given:

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70

[\text{conjuagate base}]} = moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles

[\text{acid}]  = Moles of acid = 4.00 moles

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.70+\log(\frac{3.25}{4.00})\\\\pH=4.61

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61
