Catalyst has found usage in non-scientific terms as an almost metaphorical word for something provokes or speeds up action or change. The word's applicability to many topics made it easy for it to find its way out of the scientific lexicon and into other domains, in this case political.
Its meaning is roughly the same, in that a catalyst in this context is something that facilitated or sped up the process of glasnost.
One distinct meaning that I notice is that "catalyst" in more casual or non-scientific speech is that it is often used as a creator of action all its own, an actor in itself, rather than a facilitating agent to a reaction, as its scientific definition states.
Answer:
The energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV
Explanation:
To solve this question, we have to calculate the binding energy of each isotope and then take the difference.
The mass of Tritium = 3.016049 amu.
So,the binding energy of Tritium = 3.016049 *931.494 MeV
= 2809.43155 MeV.
The mass of Helium 3 = 3.016029 amu.
So, the binding energy of Helium 3 = 3.016029 * 931.494 MeV
= 2809.41292 MeV.
The difference between the binding energy of Tritium and the binding energy of Helium is: 32809.43155 - 2809.412 = 0.01863 MeV
1 MeV = 1000keV.
Thus, 0.01863 MeV = 0.01863*1000keV = 18.63 keV.
So, the energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV.
Answer:
6.72M of HNO3
Explanation:
In the problem you are diluting the original HNO3 solution by the addition of some water. The final volume is:
290.7mL + 350.0mL = 640.7mL
And you are diluting the solution:
640.7mL / 350.0mL = 1.8306 times
As the original concentration was 12.3M, the final concentration will be:
12.3M / 1.8306 =
<h3>6.72M of HNO3</h3>
In this question, you are given the average cofactor mass per cell (77.91pg) and the total cells count(10^5 cells). You are asked how much cofactor that will be found from those cells(microgram= 10^6 picogram). Then the calculation would be:
Cofactor mass= cofactor per cell * cell count= 77.91pg/cell * 10^5 cells= 7.791 x 10^6pg
Then convert the picogram(pg) into microgram: 7.791x 10^6pg/ (10^6pg/microgram)= 7.791 microgram
The chemical equation representing the reaction between baking soda and acetic acid :
According to the Law of conservation of mass, the overall mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. That is total mass of reactants is equal to the mass of the products.
Given here Mass of Baking soda = 15 g
Mass of acetic acid = 10 g
Total mass of the reactants = 15 g +10 g = 25 g
After the reaction, total mass of products = 23 g
This difference in masses must be because one of product carbon dioxide is a gas, which is lost and hence the mass of products is lower than the mass of reactants. Therefore, the mass is conserved in this reaction.
