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.

245 g water sample initially at at 32 oC absorbs 17 kcal of heat. What is the final temperature of water?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:62.66°C or 235.66K

Explanation:Q=McpT, the energy was given in calories so you first convert to Joules by multiplying the value in calories by 4.184J.

17*4.184=71.128kJ.

71.128kJ=mcpT

71.128kJ=245*4.187*(T-Tm)

Tm is the final temperature of the mixture. The T is the temperature given which should be converted to Kelvin by adding 273...T=32+273=305K.

71128J=245*4.187*(305-Tm)

71128=312873.575-1025.815Tm

1025.815Tm=312873.575-71128

1025.815Tm=241745.58

Tm=241745.58/1025.815

Tm=235.66K

Choose the words to finish the sentence. After learning about the law of conservation of mass, Sammy became interested in balanc
cestrela7 [59]

The chemical equation is unbalanced and synthesized.

<h3></h3><h3>What is a chemical equation?</h3>

A chemical equation is described as the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.

In a chemical equation, the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities is shown on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that indicates towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

We can conclude that in the chemical equation shown is unbalanced because both amounts of the individual elements and compounds do not reflect on the reactant and product side.

The complete question is below:

After learning about the law of conservation of mass, Sammy became interested in balancing equations. He knew that the symbol for aluminum was Al and silver tarnish was Ag2S. He also knew that mixing the two chemicals yielded pure silver, or Ag, in an aluminum sulfide solution. Here is the equation showing this reaction:

3 Ag2S + 2 Al → 6 Ag + Al2S3

This equation is (synthesis / unbalanced / replacement / balanced), and it represents a(n) (unbalanced / balanced / synthesized / replaced) chemical reaction.

answer choices:

  • synthesis; balanced

  • balanced; replacement

  • unbalanced; synthesized

  • balanced; balanced
