Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction is defined as a reaction that involves exchange of electrons between the combining atoms. Not every chemical reaction releases or absorbs a very large amount of energy per atom.
On the other hand, a reaction that involves change in atomic nuclei of an atom either by splitting or combining of two atomic nuclei is known as a nuclear reaction.
For example,
Nuclear fission is a reaction in which a large nucleus splits by absorption of energy into two atomic nuclei. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two atomic nuclei combine together to result in the formation of a large atomic nuclei along with release of energy.
Each nuclear reaction releases or absorbs a very large amount of energy per atom.
Therefore, we can conclude that each nuclear reaction releases or absorbs a very large amount of energy per atom.

Answer: It will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams
Explanation:
Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
Half life is represented by
= rate constant
Given : Strontium-90 decreases in mass by one-half every 29 years , that is half life of Strontium-90 is 29 years.
As half life is independent of initial concentration, it will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams as the amount gets half.
Explanation:
As the total concentration is given as 1.2 mM. And, it is also given that salt present in the solution is NaCl.
As sodium chloride is an ionic compound so, when it is added to water then it will dissociate into sodium and chlorine ions as follows.
So, it means in total there will be formation of 2 ions when one molecules of NaCl dissociates.
Therefore, concentration of chlorine ions will be calculated as follows.
Concentration of ions =
= 0.6 mM
Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of chloride ions is 0.6 mM.
