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.

Explanation:

CH4 + 4S ---> CS2 + 2H2S

4) 0.75 mol S × (1 mol CS2/4 mol S) = 0.19 mol CS2

5) 3 mol H2S × (1 mol CH4/2 mol H2S) = 1.5 mol CH4

Fe2O3 + 2Al ---> 2Fe + Al2O3

6) 25 g FeO3 × (1 mol Fe2O3/159.69 g Fe2O3) = 0.16 mol Fe2O3

0.16 mol Fe2O3 × (2 mol Al/1 mol Fe2O3) = 0.32 mol Al

0.32 mol Al × (26.98 g Al/1 mol Al) = 8.6 g Al

7) Given:

45 g Al × (1 mol Al/26.98 g Al) = 1.6 mol Al

85 g Fe2O3 ×(1 mol Fe2O3/159.69 g Fe2O3)

= 0.53 mol Fe2O3

Let's look at how much Fe each reactant will produce:

1.6 mol Al × (2 mol Fe/2 mol Al) = 1.6 mol Fe

0.53 mol Fe2O3 × (2 mol Fe/1 mol Fe2O3) = 1.1 mol Fe

Note that the given amount of Fe2O3 will give us fewer Fe. Therefore, Fe2O3 is the limiting reactant.

8) Al will produce 1.6 mol Fe × (55.845 g Fe/1 mol Fe)

= 89 g Fe

Fe2O3 will produce 1.1 mol Fe × (55.845 Fr/1 mol Fe)

= 61 g Fe

9) Since Fe2O3 is the limiting reactant, the ideal yield of Fe for the reaction is 61 g. If the actual reaction only gave us 25 g Fe. then the percent yield of Fe is

%yield = (25 g Fe/61 g Fe) × 100% = 41%

10) If we only got 25 g Fe, then the amount of Al actually used in the reaction is

25 g Fe × (1 mol Fe/55.845 g Fe) = 0.45 mol Fe

0.45 mol Fe × (2 mol Al/2 mol Fe) = 0.45 mol Al

0.45 mol Al × (26.98 g Al/1 mol Al) = 12 g

Therefore, the leftover amount of Al is

25 g Al - 12 g Al = 13 g Al

mastering biology ch 3 Water molecules have a polarity, which allows them to be electrically attracted to other water molecules
aniked [119]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is a kind of interaction dipole-dipole, that means that 2 molecules attract each other because the have partial charges.

In the picture we can see 4 molecules of water, red circles are oxygens and white circles are hydrogens. In this bonding, Oxygen due to its size, and atomic number is more electronegative than hydrogen, then in water molecule is formed a partial negative charge in oxygen and a partial positive charge in hydrogen.

Finally, because of this partial charge, one oxygen can bond to one hydrogen of another molecule.

A) what is hydrogen's carrying capacity? <br> b) what is lithium’s carrying capacity?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A)Hydrogen can be stored physically as either a gas or a liquid. Storage of hydrogen as a gas typically requires high-pressure tanks (350–700 bar [5,000–10,000 psi] tank pressure). Storage of hydrogen as a liquid requires cryogenic temperatures because the boiling point of hydrogen at one atmosphere pressure is −252.8°C.

B) carrying capacity of the lithium reserve will reach 10 million EV and 90 billion CE's RLBs for 50% recycling of lithium-containing waste, and 15 million EV and 150 billion CE's RLBs for 90% recycling.
