When uranium-235 atoms undergo fission, _______

Suppose a group of volunteers is planning to build a park near a local lake. The lake is known to contain low levels of arsenic

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

A) 10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion .

B) 7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C) It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

Explanation:

A) Mass of arsenic in lake water sample = 164.5 ng

The ppb is the amount of solute (in micrograms) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

$\text{ppb}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^9$

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of arsenic = 164.5 ng = $164.5\times 10^{-9} g$

$1 ng=10^{-9} g$

Volume of the sample = V = $15.3 cm^3$

Density of the lake water sample ,d= $1.00 g/cm^3$

Mass of sample = M = $d\times V=1.0 g/cm^3\times 15.3 cm^3=15.3 g$

$ppb=\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3 g}\times 10^9=10.75$

10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion.

B)

Mass of arsenic in $1 cm^3$ of lake water = $\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3}=1.075\times 10^{-8} g$

Mass of arsenic in $0.710 km^3$ lake water be m.

$1 km^3=10^{15} cm^3$

Mass of arsenic in $0.710\times 10^{15} cm^3$ lake water :

$m=0.710\times 10^{15}\times 1.075\times 10^{-8} g=7,633,660.130 g$

1 g = 0.001 kg

7,633,660.130 g = 7,633,660.130 × 0.001 kg=7,633.660130 kg ≈ 7,633.66 kg

7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C)

Company claims that it takes 2.74 days to remove 41.90 kilogram of arsenic from lake water.

Days required to remove 1 kilogram of arsenic from the lake water :

$\frac{2.74}{41.90} days$

Then days required to remove 7,633.66 kg of arsenic from the lake water :

$=7,633.66\times \frac{2.74}{41.90} days=499.19 days$

1 year = 365 days

499.19 days = $\frac{499.19}{365} years = 1.367 years\approx 1.37 years$

It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

Which of the following concerning second ionization energies is true?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The fact is that the both elements belong to different groups in the periodic table. Mg is in group 12 while Al is in group 13. The outer most electron configuration for Mg2+=[Ne]3s0

Al+= [Ne]3s13p0

It is evident that in Al+, the second electron is to be removed from a filled 3s subshell which is energetically unfavourable. Unlike In Mg2+ where the two electrons are removed. There is always a tendency towards a quick loss of all the valence electrons in the valence shell. It will be more difficult to remove an electron from a filled shell.

Put the steps in order to show how crystals are formed. Formation of ions: Formation of crystals: Formation of ionic bonds: Form

dmitriy555 [2]

Explanation:

Formation of crystals starts with formation of ions. After the formation of ions the bond formation takes place between the ions.

Bond making between the ions give rise to formation of cubic unit cell by placing them in such a fashion that it forms a shape of a cube.

These cube are then arranged in a repeated pattern which ultimately leads to the formation of crystals.

Hence, the order of steps:

Step 1 : Formation of ions

Step 2: Formation of ionic bonds

Step 3: Formation of cubes

Step 4: Formation of crystals
