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?
Chemistry

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.

24 g copper is submerged in water in a graduated cylinder, and the total volume increases by 2.7 mL. what is the density of copp
romanna [79]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>8.89 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass of copper = 24 g

volume = 2.7 mL

The density of the metal is

density =  \frac{24}{2.7}  \\  = 8.8888888888 ...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.89 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

If 21.4 g of aluminum is reacted with 91.3 g of iron (III) oxide, the products will be aluminum oxide and iron metal. What mass
horsena [70]

Answer:

The mass of iron produced is 44.29 grams

Explanation:

Al + FeO3   \rightarrow  

Aluminium + Iron III oxide

2Al + F₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe

Molar mass of Al = 26.981539 g/mol

Molar mass of F₂O₃ = 159.69 g/mol

Number of moles of Aluminium = 21.4 g/26.981539 g/mol = 0.7931 moles

Number of moles of F₂O₃ = 91.3 g/159.69 g/mol = 0.572 moles

Hence, 1 mole of Al combines with 1/2 moles of F₂O₃, 0.7931 moles of Al will combine with 0.7931 × 1/2 or 0.3966 moles of F₂O₃ to produce 0.7931 moles of iron

Molar mass of iron = 55.845 g/mol

Therefore the mass of iron produced = Number of moles × Molar mass = 0.7931 × 55.845 = 44.29 grams.

A series of chemicals were added to some AgNO3(aq). NaCl(aq) was added first to the silver nitrate solution to produce a precipi
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

First, precipitate of AgCl is formed. Second, a soluble complex of silver and ammonia is formed. Third, AgCl is reproduced due to disappearance of ammonia complex in presence of HNO_{3}.

Explanation:

In presence of NaCl, AgNO_{3} forms an insoluble precipitate of AgCl.

Reaction: Ag^{+}(aq.)+Cl^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow AgCl(s)

In presence of NH_{3}, AgCl gets dissolved into solution due to formation of soluble [Ag(NH_{3})_{2}]^{+} complex.

Reaction: AgCl(s)+2NH_{3}(aq.)\rightarrow [Ag(NH_{3})_{2}]^{+}(aq.)+ Cl^{-}(aq.)

In presence of HNO_{3}, [Ag(NH_{3})_{2}]^{+} complex gets destroyed and free Cl^{-} again reacts with free Ag^{+} to produce insoluble AgCl

Reaction: [Ag(NH_{3})_{2}]^{+}(aq.)+2H^{+}(aq.)+Cl^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+2NH_{4}^{+}(aq.)
