One of the waste byproducts of a nuclear reactor using uranium-235 is strontium-90 with half-life of about 28 years. If we have 100 pounds of this radioactive waste:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 140 years

(b) 3.125 pounds

Explanation:

QuestIons

(a) How long is five half-life

(b)  How much radioactive strontium is left after five half-life

Given that:

Half-life is about 28 years; &

There are 100 pounds of this radioactive waste

Five half-life will be;

= 28 × 5

= 140 years

The amount of radioactive remaining after five half-life is:

[tex]= 100 \times( \dfrac{1}{2}) ^5[/tex]

= 100 × 0.03125

= 3.125 pounds

How do atoms form chemical bonds

Answers

Answer:

Atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outer energy level, which is the most stable arrangement of electrons. A chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions. Bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. In a covalent bond, two atoms share one or more electrons.

A 10 gram sample of iron reacts with oxygen to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide. How many grams of oxygen reacted?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}[/tex]

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

[tex]iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen[/tex]

The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams. The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

[tex]10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g[/tex]

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g[/tex]

[tex]oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g[/tex]

[tex]oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\[/tex]

8.2 grams of oxygen reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.

Pb2+(aq) + 2 e– → Pb(s) E = –0.13 V
Fe2+(aq) + 2 e– → Fe(s) E = –0.44 V
Al3+(aq) + 3 e– → Al(s) E = –1.66 V
Which of the above metals or metal ions will reduce Pb2+(aq)?
a. Ag+(aq) and Cu2+(aq)
b. Ag(s) and Cu(s)
c. Fe2+(aq) and Al3+(aq)
d. Fe(s) and Al(s)
e. Cu2+(aq) and Fe2+(aq)

Answers

d. Fe(s) and Al(s)

Further explanation

In the redox reaction, it is also known  

Reducing agents are substances that experience oxidation  

Oxidizing agents are substances that experience reduction

The metal activity series is expressed in voltaic series  

Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Ag-Pt-Au  

The more to the left, the metal is more reactive (easily release electrons) and the stronger reducing agent  

The more to the right, the metal is less reactive (harder to release electrons) and the stronger oxidizing agent

So that the metal located on the left can push the metal on the right in the redox reaction  

The electrodes which are easier to reduce than hydrogen (H), have E cells = +

The electrodes which are easier to oxidize than hydrogen have a sign E cell = -

So the above metals or metal ions will reduce Pb²⁺ (aq) will be located to the left of the Pb in the voltaic series or which have a more negative E cell value (greater reduction power)

Answers

The answer should be B. hope this helped ;)

The net ionic equation for the reaction between iron (iii) sulfate and potassium hydroxide is

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3OH¯(aq) —> Fe(OH)₃(s) (Option B)

What is a chemical equation?

Chemical equations are representations of chemical reactions using symbols and formula of the reactants and products.

The reactants are located on the left side while the products are located on the right side.

Reactants —> Products

The balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be transferred from one form to another.

How to write the net ionic equation

In solution

Fe₂(SO₄)₃ (aq) --> 2Fe³⁺(aq) + 3SO₄²⁻(aq)

KOH (aq) --> K⁺(aq) + OH¯(aq)

The reaction proceeds as follow

Fe₂(SO₄)₃ (aq) + KOH (aq) —>

Fe³⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + K⁺(aq) + OH¯(aq) —> Fe(OH)₃(s) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + K⁺(aq)

Cancel out the spectator ions (i.e SO₄²⁻ + K⁺) and balance to obtain the net ionic equation

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3OH¯(aq) —> Fe(OH)₃(s)

If 240.0 g NaOH reacts, how many grams of Cu(OH)2 should precipitate out in the reaction? Show work

Answers

Answer:

292.7 g

Explanation:

Note: the reaction is missing but I looked it up on the web and found it.

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

CuSO₄(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 240.0 g of NaOH

The molar mass of NaOH is 40.00 g/mol.

240.0 g × 1 mol/40.00 g = 6.000 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Cu(OH)₂ formed from 6.000 moles of NaOH

The molar ratio of NaOH to Cu(OH)₂ is 2:1. The moles of Cu(OH)₂ formed are 1/2 × 6.000 mol = 3.000 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 3.000 moles of Cu(OH)₂

The molar mass of Cu(OH)₂ is 97.56 g/mol.

3.000 mol × 97.56 g/mol = 292.7 g

The chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO. A chemist determined by measurements that 0.030 moles of magnesium oxide participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of magnesium oxide that participates.

Answers

Answer:

1.209g of MgO participates

Explanation:

In this problem, we have 0.030 moles of MgO that participates in a particular reaction.

And we are asked to solve for the mass of MgO that participates, that means, we need to convert moles to grams.

To convert moles to grams we need to use molar mass of the compound:

1 atom of Mg has a molar mass of 24.3g/mol

1 atom of O has a molar mass of 16g/mol

That means molar mass of MgO is 24.3g/mol + 16g/mol = 40.3g/mol

And mass of 0.030 moles of MgO is:

0.030 moles MgO * (40.3g/mol) =

1.209g of MgO participates

Answers

Answer:

Slower shutter speeds like 1/60 second and slower cause a blurring effect. If you want to take a picture using a slow shutter speed, it is best to mount the camera on a tripod and use image stabilization (such as SteadyShot® technology) to reduce the chance of any unwanted camera movement.

The first big effect of it is motion blur. If your shutter speed is long, moving subjects in your photo will appear blurred along the direction of motion. ... If you use an especially fast shutter speed, you can eliminate motion even from fast-moving objects, like birds in flight, or cars driving past.

D. ?

Answers

Answer:[tex][Kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^1[/tex]

Explanation:

The element Indium with atomic number 49 will have 49 protons and 49 electrons in it.

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom. The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and the nearest noble gas is Krypton with 36 electrons.

The electronic configuration in terms of noble gas configuration is:  

[tex]In:49:[Kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^1[/tex]

The noble-gas notation for the element indium is [Kr} 4d¹⁰5s²5p¹. The correct option is B.  [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p1

From the question,

We are to write the electron configuration of the element Indium, using the appropriate noble gas notation.

The noble gas that comes before Indium (In) is Krypton (Kr). Therefore, the noble gas that will be used in the notation is Krypton.

Indium has an atomic number of 49 while Krypton has an atomic number of 36. This means we will fill in 13 more electrons.

The electron configuration for the element indium using the noble-gas notation is

[Kr} 4d¹⁰5s²5p¹

Hence, the noble-gas notation for the element indium is [Kr} 4d¹⁰5s²5p¹. The correct option is B.  [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p1

Reacting 10.0 mL of H2(g) with 10.0 mL of C2H4(g) produces 10.0 mL of C2H6 at 1.5 atm. If the reaction produces 3.1 kJ of heat and the decrease in volume requires the heat surroundings do 7.6 J of work on the gases, what is the change in internal energy of the gases?

Answers

Answer:

the change in internal energy of the gases is  -3.0924 KJ

Explanation:

The computation of the change in internal energy of the gases is as follows;

Given that

Q = -3.1 KJ

= -3100 J

It is negative as the heat is lost from the mixture

And,

W = + 7.6 J

It is positive as the work is done in the mixture

Now we use the following equation

Delat E = Q + W

= -3100 J + 7.6 J

= -3092.4 J

= -3.0924 KJ

Hence, the change in internal energy of the gases is  -3.0924 KJ
