When the plutonium bomb was tested in New Mexico in 1945, approximately 1 gram of matter was converted into energy. Suppose another bomb is tested, and 1.5 grams of matter are converted into energy. How many joules of energy are released by the explosion?

Iron is a transition metal with multiple oxidation numbers. (answer the following) a. what is the iron (ii) ion? how does it differ from the iron (iii) ion? b. if iron were to bond with oxygen, predict the formula for each oxidation number of iron. c. how would each formula be named?

Certain bacteria (such as aquaspirillum magnetotacticum) tend to swim toward the earth’s geographic north pole because they contain tiny particles, called magnetosomes, that are sensitive to a magnetic field. if a transmission line carrying 100 a is laid underwater, at what range of distances would the magnetic field from this line be great enough to interfere with the migration of these bacteria? (assume that a field less than 5% of the earth’s field would have little effect on the bacteria. take the earth’s field to be 5.0 * 10-5 t, and ignore the effects of the seawater.)

The gravitational force between pluto and charon is 3.61 × 1018 n. pluto has a mass of 1.3 × 1022 kg, which is only slightly greater than charon’s mass of 1.6 × 1021 kg. how far apart are pluto and charon? 2.0 × 107 m 2.4 × 1012 m 3.8 × 1014 m 5.8 × 1024 m
