Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed but the mass of the system must remain constant over time. The total number of atoms in the reactants is equal to the total number of atoms in the product. Therefore, this chemical equation shows that energy is conserved and demonstrates the law of conservation of mass.

Which of the following statements characterizes nuclear fission?

san4es73 [151]

Answer: C) the splitting of a nucleus released a large burst of energy

Explanation:

nuclear fission occurs when an isotope (usually unstable) is hit with particles such as neutrons and splits, resulting in an extreme burst of energy.

for instance, the atomic bombs developed by the U.S. during WWII were products of nuclear fission in which plutonium-239 and uranium-235 were struck by a neutron that hit either nucleus of either isotope. The result was the neclus split into fragments that released huge amounts of energy snd the fission process became self-sustaining as neutrons produced by the splitting nucleus hit other nuclei and produce more fission, causing a chain reaction.

Calculate the cell potential for the following reaction as written at 25.00 °C, given that [Cr2 ] = 0.892 M and [Fe2 ] = 0.0150

Effectus [21]

Given:

Concentration of Cr2+ = 0.892 M

Concentration of Fe2+ = 0.0150 M

To determine:

The cell potential, Ecell

Explanation:

The half cell reactions for the given cell are:

Anode: Oxidation

Cr(s) ↔ Cr2+(aq) + 2e⁻ E⁰ = -0.91 V

Cathode: Reduction

Fe2+ (aq) + 2e⁻ ↔ Fe (s) E⁰ = -0.44 V

------------------------------------------

Net reaction: Cr(s) + Fe2+(aq) ↔ Cr2+(aq) + Fe(s)

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode = -0.44 - (-0.91) = 0.47 V

The cell potential can be deduced from the Nernst equation as follows:

Ecell = E°cell - (0.0591/n)log[Cr2+]/[Fe2+]

Here, n = number of electrons = 2

Ecell = 0.47 - 0.0591/2 * log[0.892]/[0.0150] = 0.418 V

Ans: The cell potential is 0.418 V

Exothermic reactions release energy. Where is the energy used for these reactions to occur stored? .

Tanya [424]

Answer:

In the chemical bonds.

Explanation:

There are different types of chemical bonds, some store a TON of energy while others do not store as much. You can think of it like this: for bonds with low energy, it takes a LOT of force to pull them apart, meaning they are strong bonds. However, this way, you have to put energy into them to break the bonds and form a chemical reaction. This is an endothermic reaction, a reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings.

Instead, bonds in exothermic reactions are BEGGING to form a more stable bond, and hence store a lot of potential energy. Due to the difficulty of maintaining these bonds, there is a lot of energy put into them. If you break them, however, (exothermic reaction) the energy is released, and hence the exothermic reaction happens.
