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.

The equilibrium constant for the gas-phase isomerization of borneol (c10h17oh) to isoborneol at 503 k is 0.106. a mixture consis
Dimas [21]
The solution is as follows:

K = [Partial pressure of isoborneol]/[Partial pressure of borneol] = 0.106

The molar mass of isoborneol/borneol is 154.25 g/mol

Mol isoborneol = 15 g/154.25 = 0.0972 mol
Mol borneol = 7.5 g/154.25 = 0.0486 mol

Use the ICE approach

        borneol  →  isoborneol
I         0.0972           0.0486
C         -x                     +x
E     0.0972 - x        0.0486 + x

Total moles = 0.1458

Using Raoult's Law,
Partial Pressure = Mole fraction*Total Pressure
[Partial pressure of isoborneol] = [(0.0972-x)/0.1458]*P
[Partial pressure of borneol] = [(0.0486+x/0.1458)]*P

0.106 = [(0.0972-x)/0.1458]*P/ [(0.0486+x/0.1458)]*P
Solving for x,
x = 0.0832 

Thus,
<em>Mol fraction of borneol = (0.0486+0.0832)/0.1458 = 0.904</em>
<em>Mol fraction of isoborneol = (0.0972-0.0832)/0.1458 = 0.096</em>

The reaction takes place in water. What happens to the equilibrium when the pressure is increased? a)It favors formation of prod
OLga [1]

Answer:

I don't really get the options but it favoures the reactant side.

Explanation:

Increasing pressure favours the side with fewer moles of gas while decreasing pressure favours the side with the more moles of gas. E.g

If there is 0 moles of gas particles in the reactant side and 1 mole of gas particle in the product side, increasing pressure favours the reactants while decreasing pressure favours the product side.

With the explanations I have made, I hope the question is now clear to you.
