Which statement best explains why mass is not conserved in a nuclear change?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kogti [31]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Mass in nuclear reactions is not strictly conserved due to this principle of mass and energy being quite similar. We know that nuclear reactions release a lot of energy. This energy, though, is actually mass that is lost from nucleons, converted into energy, and lost as the mass defect.

Some mass is turned into energy, according to E=mc2.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation. E is the energy, m is mass, and c is the constant speed of light. Einstein came up with it to show that energy and mass are proportional - one can turn into the other, and back again.

Mass in nuclear reactions is not strictly conserved due to this principle of mass and energy being quite similar. We know that nuclear reactions release a lot of energy. This energy, though, is actually mass that is lost from nucleons, converted into energy, and lost as the mass defect.

Convert 22 ml in to liters
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.022

Explanation:

milliter (ml) = 1 cubic centimeter (cc)= 0.001 liters (l) = 0.000001 cubic meters (m3).

1 ml = 0.061024 cubic inches (in3) ; 1 in3 = 16.4 ml.

1 ml = 0.000035 cubic feet (ft3); 1 ft3 = 28,317 ml.

1 ml = 2.64 x 10-4 U.S. gallons (gal); 1 gal = 4.55 x 103 ml.

Where is the mass of an atom found? Explain.
muminat

Explanation:

Over 99.9% percent of an atom's mass resides in the nucleus. The protons and neutrons in the center of the atom are about 2000 times heavier than the electrons orbiting around it.

Because the electrons are so light by comparison,they represent only a tiny fraction of a percent of the atom's total weight.

Hope this answer helps you!

A liquid of density 1290 kg/m 3 flows steadily through a pipe of varying diameter and height. At Location 1 along the pipe, the
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

114 kPa

Explanation:

By Bernoulli's equation when a fluid flows steadily through a pipe:

P + ρ*g*y + v² = constant in the pipe, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravity acceleration (9.8 m/s²), y is the high, and v the velocity.

By the continuity equation, the liquid flow must be constant in the pipe, and then:

A1*v1 = A2*v2

Where A is the area, v is the velocity, 1 is the point 1, and 2 the point 2 in the pipe. The are is the circle area: π*(d/2)². So:

π*(0.105/2)²*9.91 = π*(0.167/2)²*v2

0.007v2 = 0.027

v2 = 3.9 m/s

Then:

P1 + ρ*g*y1 + v1² = P2 + ρ*g*y2 + v2²

ρ*g*y1 - ρ*g*y2 + v1² - v2² = P2 - P1

ρ*g*Δy + v1² - v2² = ΔP

ΔP = 1290*9.8*9.01 + 9.91² - 3.9²

ΔP = 113,987.42 Pa

ΔP = 114 kPa
