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

Marina86 [1]3 years ago

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.

She dissolves a 10.0mg sample in enough water to make 30.0mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution is 0.340torr at 2
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(a)The molar mass of the gene fragment is 18220.071g/mol = 18.22 kg/mol

(b)The freezing point for the aqueous solution is -3.413\times10^{-5} C

Explanation:

The osmotic pressure (π) is given by the following equation:

\pi =cRT

c= Concentration of solution

R = universal gas constant = 62.364 \frac{L\times torr}{mol\times K}

T = temperature

Weight of solute = w = 10.0 mg

Let the molecular weight of the solute be m g/mol.

Concentration = c=\frac{n}{V}\\ n=\frac{w}{m}\\ n=\frac{10\times10^{-3}}{m}\\c=\frac{10\times10^{-3}}{m\times30\times10^{-3}}M

m=\frac{RT}{3\pi}

m = 18220.071g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of the gene fragment is 18220.071g/mol = 18.22 kg/mol

\Delta T_{f}=K_{f}m

m is the molality of the solution.

m = 1.835\times10^{-5} mol/kg

\Delta T_{f}=1.86\times m

\Delta T_{f} = 3.413\times10^{-5} C

The freezing point for the aqueous solution is -3.413\times10^{-5} C

How many milliliters of 5.0 M NaOH are needed to exactly neutralize 40. milliliters of 2.0 M HCl?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

16mL

Explanation:

Using the following formula;

CaVa = CbVb

Where;

Where

Ca = concentration/molarity of acid (M)

Va = volume of acid (mL)

Cb = concentration/molarity of base (M)

Vb = volume of base (mL)

According to the information provided in this question;

Ca (HCl) = 2M

Cb (NaOH) = 5M

Va (HCl) = 40mL

Vb (NaOH) = ?

Using CaVa = CbVb

Vb = CaVa/Cb

Vb = 2 × 40/5

Vb = 80/5

Vb = 16mL

53. Why do real gases deviate from the ideal gas laws at low temperatures?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The volume occupied by molecules becomes a significant part of the total volume.

Attractions between molecules cause a reduction in volume.  

Explanation:

C is wrong. The masses of molecules are constant.

Air is made up of different gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and car
tia_tia [17]

The correct option would be that oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide cannot react with one another.

<h3>Why air components cannot react</h3>

The components of atmospheric air, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc., cannot react with one another because there is not enough energy in the atmosphere to set the reaction rolling.

For a reaction to take place, there must be enough energy to break the bonds in each air component. This is why the air components will not spontaneously react with one another, except during special events such as lightning and thunder.
