Answer:

Explanation: In the previous section we listed four characteristics of radioactivity and nuclear decay that form the basis for the use of radioisotopes in the health and biological sciences. A fifth characteristic of nuclear reactions is that they release enormous amounts of energy. The first nuclear reactor to achieve controlled nuclear disintegration was built in the early 1940s by Enrico Fermi and his colleagues at the University of Chicago. Since that time, a great deal of effort and expense has gone into developing nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The nuclear reactions presently used or studied by the nuclear power industry fall into two categories: fission reactions and fusion reactions

A chemistry student is given 600. mL of a clear aqueous solution at 37.° C. He is told an unknown amount of a certain compound X
barxatty [35]

Answer:

  • <u>Yes, it is 14. g of compound X in 100 ml of solution.</u>

Explanation:

The relevant fact here is:

  • the whole amount of solute disolved at 21°C is the same amount of precipitate after washing and drying the remaining liquid solution: the amount of solute before cooling the solution to 21°C is not needed, since it is soluble at 37°C but not soluble at 21°C.

That means that the precipitate that was thrown away, before evaporating the remaining liquid solution under vacuum, does not count; you must only use the amount of solute that was dissolved after cooling the solution to 21°C.

Then, the amount of solute dissolved in the 600 ml solution at 21°C is the weighed precipitate: 0.084 kg = 84 g.

With that, the solubility can be calculated from the followiing proportion:

  • 84. g solute / 600 ml solution = y / 100 ml solution

      ⇒ y = 84. g solute × 100 ml solution / 600 ml solution = 14. g.

The correct number of significant figures is 2, since the mass 0.084 kg contains two significant figures.

<u>The answer is 14. g of solute per 100 ml of solution.</u>
