In a nuclear fusion reaction, the mass of the products is(1) less than the mass of the reactants because someof the mass has been converted to energy
(2) less than the mass of the reactants because some
of the energy has been converted to mass
(3) more than the mass of the reactants because some
of the mass has been converted to energy
(4) more than the mass of the reactants because some of the energy has been converted to mass

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The correct answer is option 1. The mass of the products is less than the mass of the reactants because some of the mass has been converted to energy. Fusion reaction happens when two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.

The nucleus of 8Be, which consists of four protons and four neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particles (helium nuclei, each consisting of two protons and two neutrons). True or false?

Answers

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

When there is more difference in the ratio or number of protons and neutrons then nucleus of the atom becomes unstable in nature. This unstability is caused due to greater repulsion between the like charges of sub-atomic particles.

As a result, this force of repulsion becomes greater than the binding energy. And, this force is known as the weak force because it is unable to bind the neutrons and protons together.

The proton and neutron ratio for smaller elements is 1:1 and for higher elements it has to be 1:5. Since, ^(8)Be is a smaller element with 4 protons and 4 neutrons. Hence, the proton and neutron ratio is 1:1.

Therefore, ^(8)Be is stable in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement nucleus of 8Be, which consists of four protons and four neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particles (helium nuclei, each consisting of two protons and two neutrons), is false.

When electrons absorb energy they are able toa. move from exited states down to their ground states.
b. move from their ground states up to excited states.
c. attach to the nucleus.
d. form a bond with the nearest proton.

Answers

When electrons absorb energy they are able to move from their ground states up to excited states. The answer is letter B. an example of this is when you light a match. The molecules of the matchstick are in its ground state. When you flick it on the ground or anything hard, it causes its molecules to move into the excited state and thus causing fire.

NaCl is an ionic solid. The Na+ and Cl− ions in NaCl are bonded through an electrostatic force of attraction commonly known as the ionic bond. Water is a polar solvent. The oxygen atom, being more electronegative, attracts the electron cloud toward itself. As the electron cloud is pulled by the oxygen atom, it carries a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms carry a partial positive charge. This partial separation of charges in the water molecule makes it polar. Predict which intermolecular forces contribute the most to the dissolution of NaCl in water. Check all that apply.
a. Ion-ion forces
b. Ion-dipole forces
c. Dipole-dipole forces
d. Hydrogen bonding
Suppose that NaCl is added to hexane (C6H14) instead of water. Which of the following intermolecular forces will exist in the system?

c. Dipole-dipole force between two hexane molecules
d. Hydrogen bonding between Na+ ions and a hexane molecule
e. London dispersion force between two hexane molecules

Answers

Answer:

NaCl and water: Ion - Dipolo forces

NaCl and Hexane: Ion-ion force between Na+ and Cl− ions and London dispersion force between two hexane molecules

Explanation:

NaCl and water:

The ion-dipole force is established between an ion and a polar molecule.  Polar molecules are dipoles, they have a positive end and a negative end.

H2O has an important charge separation in its atoms (the H has a positive partial charge and the O has a negative partial charge) and this causes permanent electrical dipoles in the water molecules.

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound formed of positive and negative charge ions, Na + and Cl-. Depending on their charge, these ions will be attracted to opposite charges in the water molecules (H attracts chloride ions and O attracts sodium ions), causing the salt to dissolve in water.

NaCl and Hexane:

The dispersion forces of London occur between apolar molecules, and they occur because when two molecules approach a distortion of the electronic clouds of both originates, generating in them, transient induced dipoles, due to the movement of the electrons, so it allows interact with each other.

Hexane is a non-polar molecule, which are those that have no charge separation within the molecules. Then there is London dispersion force between two hexane molecules.

On the other hand, the ion-ion force is produced between ions of the same or different charge, where ions with charges of opposite sign attract each other and ions with charges of the same sign repel each other. This is the force that occurs between the NaCl ions.

What is the % yield of CO2 if 10g of CO produces 12.8 g CO2?
2CO + O2 → 2CO2

Answers

Moles CO = 10.0 g / 28.01 g/mol = 0.357 
the ratio between CO and CO2 is 2 : 2 ( or 1 : 1) so we would get 0.357 mole of CO2 ( 100% yield) 

mass CO2 = 0.357 mol x 44.0098 g/mol = 15.7 g ( theoretical yield) 

% yield = 12.8 x 100 / 15.7 = 81.5

Hope this helps.
The % yield is 81.5 :DDDDDD
