E = mc²

where E = energy produced

m = mass of the nucleus

C = speed of light

m = 9.106 x 10⁻³ x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

C = 3 x 10⁸ m/s, thus C² = 9 x 10¹⁶

E = 1.37 x 10⁻¹² J

Answer: The energy released is, 136.043\times 10^{-14}J

Explanation:

According to Einstein's formula, energy equals mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.

The formula is:

E=m\times c^2

where,

E = energy

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

m = mass of nucleus = 9.106\times 10^{-3}amu

Transforming the mass of the nucleus from 'amu' to 'Kg':

Thus, 1amu=1.66\times 10^{-27}Kg

So, 9.106\times 10^{-3}amu=(9.106\times 10^{-3})\times (1.66\times 10^{-27})Kg

We can now insert the provided values into the formula, leading us to the amount of energy produced.

E=[(9.106\times 10^{-3})\times (1.66\times 10^{-27})Kg]\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2

E=136.043\times 10^{-14}J

Consequently, the energy released is, 136.043\times 10^{-14}J

65g of nitric acid are produced in a reaction. 2.5g of platinum are added to the reaction vessel at the start of the reaction to
alisha [964]

Answer:

2.5 g of platinum

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance added to a reaction to enhance the reaction speed. It does not undergo any change during the reaction, meaning it remains unchanged after the reaction concludes. The role of a catalyst is to provide an alternative pathway for the reaction by reducing the activation energy required. Therefore, a catalyzed reaction occurs more rapidly and requires less energy compared to an uncatalyzed one.

Since catalysts do not get involved in reactions and retain their mass post-reaction, the amount of platinum will stay the same (2.5g). The mass can only alter if a substance participates in the chemical process. Thus, this is the response.

You have a racemic mixture of d-2-butanol and l-2-butanol. the d isomer rotates polarized light by +13.5∘. what is the rotation
Anarel [852]
The L- isomer serves as the enantiomer of the D- isomer, and given that the optical rotation of the D- isomer is + 13.5°, the L- isomer's optical rotation will have the same magnitude but an opposite sign, resulting in -13.5°.

Thus, the rotation of the racemic mixture will be equal to 0°.


- This occurs because a racemic mixture contains equal proportions of both enantiomers.

Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165-g sample is combusted to produce
VMariaS [1037]

Answer:

The empirical formula is = C_4H_8O

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2

Explanation:

Mass of the produced water = 0.166 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

The moles of H_2O are calculated as 0.166 g /18 g/mol = 0.00922 moles.

In 1 mole of water, there are 2 moles of hydrogen atoms.

Thus,

Moles of H = 2 x 0.00922 = 0.01844 moles

Each hydrogen atom's molar mass is 1.008 g/mol.

Hydrogen mass in the molecule = 0.01844 x 1.008 = 0.018588 g

Mass of produced carbon dioxide = 0.403 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The moles of CO_2 are calculated as 0.403 g  /44.01 g/mol = 0.009157 moles.

Each carbon atom's presence is 1 mole in 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

So,

Moles of C = 0.009157 moles

The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107 g/mol.

Carbon mass in molecule = 0.009157 x 12.0107 = 0.11 g

Since Valproic acid comprises only hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, the oxygen mass in the sample = Total mass - Carbon mass  - Hydrogen mass.

The sample's overall mass = 0.165 g.

Oxygen mass in the sample = 0.165 - 0.11 - 0.018588 = 0.036412 g  

The molar mass of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol.

Moles of O  = 0.036412  / 15.999  = 0.002276 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for H, O, and C yields:

0.01844: 0.002276: 0.009157

= 8: 1: 4

The empirical formula becomes C_4H_8O

While molecular formulas detail the precise count of atoms for each element, empirical formulas represent the simplest form or reduced ratio of these elements in the compound.

Consequently,  

The molecular mass equals n × Empirical mass.

Here, n is a positive integer from 1, 2, 3...

Empirical mass = 4×12 + 8×1 + 16 = 72 g/mol.

Molar mass = 144 g/mol.

Thus,  

The molecular mass = n × Empirical mass.

144 = n × 72

⇒ n = 2

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2
