Which statement best describes evidence that a chemical reaction occurs as a cake bakes

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:

$^{235}_{72}U +^{1}_{0}n$ ⇒ $^{140}_{56}Ba+^{93}_{36}Kr+3^{1}_{0}n+energy$

total mass equals 236.053 u total mass equals 235.868 u

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Answer: From Einstein’s equation E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.

The law of conservation of energy holds for this type of reaction (i.e the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.

From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u

Which statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is correct? (1 point)

iris [78.8K]

The true statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is; both are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

A basic law in science is called the law of conservation of mass. Its general statement is that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

Both in chemical and nuclear changes, mass is involved and in both cases, the law of conservation of mass strictly applies.

This means that for both chemical and nuclear changes; total mass before reaction must be equal to total mass after reaction.

Hence, both reactions are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

How do scientist communicate the results of an investigation?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

scientists often communicate their research results in three general ways:

1) One is to publish their results in peer-reviewed journals that can be ready by other scientists.

2) Two is to present their results at national and international conferences where other scientists can listen to presentations

For each of the following sublevels, give the n and l values and the number of orbitals: (a) 6g; (b) 4s; (c) 3d.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

(a) 6g. Shell 6, n = 6. Subshell g, l = 4. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 9

(b) 4s. Shell 4, n = 4. Subshell s, l = 0. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 1

(c) 3d. Shell 3, n = 3. Subshell d, l = 2. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 5

Explanation:

The rules for electron quantum numbers are:

1. Shell number, 1 ≤ n, n = 1, 2, 3...

2. Subshell number, 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1, orbital s - 0, p - 1, d - 2, f - 3

3. Orbital energy shift, -l ≤ ml ≤ l

4. Spin, either -1/2 or +1/2

So,

(a) 6g. Shell 6, n = 6. Subshell g, l = 4. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 9

(b) 4s. Shell 4, n = 4. Subshell s, l = 0. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 1

(c) 3d. Shell 3, n = 3. Subshell d, l = 2. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 5
