“Atomic fission” is when a nucleus gets hit by a neutron and splits in half, releasing a great deal of energy. It is the basic principle behind nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. The “Fat Man” atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945 had a plutonium core of 6.4 kg of the isotope Pu-239. (Note that “239” is the molar mass.) When the bomb exploded, it released an amount of energy equivalent to 21 kilotons of TNT.

Although the bomb needed 6.4 kg of plutonium to function at all, only a portion of those plutonium atoms actually fissioned. Calculate how many kilograms of Pu-239 actually underwent fission when the bomb exploded.

You will need some conversion factors to do this problem:

The energy from the explosion of 1 kiloton of TNT is equal to 4.2 x 1012J.

The fission of a single atom of Pu-239 releases 210 MeV (mega electron volts) of energy.

1 MeV = 1.602 x 10-13 J

The following data were obtained from experiments to find the molecular formula of an unknown compound which acts as a common local anesthetic. The unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Complete combustion of a 4.82 g sample of the unknown compound with excess oxygen formed 12.67 g of carbon dioxide and 4.076 g of water. Another sample of the unknown compound with a mass of 1.12 g was found to contain 0.1339 g of nitrogen. The molar mass of the unknown compound was found to be 234 g/mol. Find the molecular formula of the unknown compound.
