Answer:

-13

Explanation:

Function

f(x) = -x² + x - 1

Solving

Substitute 2 in place of x
f(2) = -(2)² + 2 - 1
f(2) = -4 + 2 - 1
f(2) = -3
f(f(2)) = f(-3)
f(-3) = -(-3)² - 3 - 1
f(-3) = -9 - 3 - 1
f(f(2)) = -13

Nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. Is this process endothermic or exothermic?

Anna71 [15]

Explanation:

Exothermic reaction is defined as the reaction in which release of heat takes place. This also means that in an exothermic reaction, bond energies of reactants is less than the bond energies of products.

Hence, difference between the energies between the reactants and products releases as heat and therefore, enthalpy of the system will decrease.

Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is supplied from outside and absorbed by the reactant molecules. Hence, enthalpy of the system increases.

As water acts as a coolent and when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor are immersed in it then heat created by coolent is absorbed by water and then it changes into steam.

Since, absorption of heat occurs in the nuclear reactor. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. This process is endothermic.

How would you respond to a person who argued that the Big Bang theory is incorrect because it is only a theory and theories have

Umnica [9.8K]

Well, you would reply that that's not what theories are. Theories explain the how and the why, laws explain the what. So, the Big Bang theory isn't "just a theory". It's a theory, it explains the how. (Also, if someone tells you it's anti-God or whatever, tell them the thoery was created by a Catholic scientist. True fact.) I hoped this helped!!! (You don't have the include who created the theory if this is for homework.)
