Fusion and fission reactions are both nuclear reactions that can be used to produce energy. However, while fission reactions are

observed as a natural decay route for some nuclei on Earth, fusion is not seen under typical ambient planetary conditions. More extreme conditions, like are present in stars, are typically necessary for fusion to occur on a large scale.1. Which of the answers below correctly describes the reasoning for this difference?A) Both fusion and fission reactions are initiated by neutron addition to the nuclei involved in the reaction. However, fusion reactions, unlike fission reactions, do not produce large amounts of extra neutrons to propagate the chain reaction needed to sustain a reaction at a high rate.B) Both fusion and fission reactions require nuclear collisions. Fusion reactions involve smaller nuclei which collide less frequently with each other, causing a slower reaction. Fission reactions involve larger nuclei, making collisions more frequent, leading to faster reaction rates.C) Fusion reactions result in less energy released as heat than is seen in fission reactions. Because less heat is released there is less energy present in the reactants to overcome the large activation energy for these reactions. Fission reactions also have a large activation barrier, but the heat produced by these reactions is much greater, giving the nuclei the energy they need to complete the reaction.D) Fusion reactions have a larger barrier to reaction due to the repulsion forces required for two nuclei to come together. Because the nuclei are both positively charged, the repulsive force between the two has to be overcome for fusion to occur. Fission reactions do not involve nuclear collisions and therefore have a lower barrier to reaction.E. The binding energy per nucleon is much lower, on average, for atoms involved in fusion reactions. This means that the reactions are less energetically favorable, as binding energy per nucleon is a measure of stability. Because there is much less energetic driving force, the reaction rate is much slower overall, meaning that it is more difficult to observe under ambient conditions.

When the fuel mixture contained in a 1.49 l tank, stored at 750 mmhg and 298 k, undergoes complete combustion, how much heat is
Ket [755]
Get to know first how many moles in the gas:n = pV/RT= (1.013*10^5*750/760) Pa *1.49*10^-3 m^3/(8.314 J/(molK)*298) n = 0.0601 moles. 
The combustion energies  are  889 kJ/mol (methane) and 2 220 kJ (propane) x = moles methane, y = moles propane 
x*889 + y*2220 = 778 x + y = 0.0601----------- x = 0.267784 moles = 0.267784*100/0.0601 = 44.6 % y = 0.243216 moles = 0.243216*100/0.0601 = 55.4 %

Will strontium bromide and potassium sulfate give a precipitate
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:- Yes, strontum bromide and potassium sulfate gives a precipitate of strontium sulfate.

Explanations:- As per the solubility rules, all compounds of alkali metals are soluble.

Sulfate of most of the alkaline earth metals like Ca, Ba and Sr are insoluble.

A double displacement reaction takes place when strontium bromide and potassium sulfate are mixed and a precipitate of strontium sulfate is formed:

Sr(Br)_2(aq)+K_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2KBr(aq)+SrSO_4(s)

Note: (aq) stands for aqueous and (s) stands for solid and here it's precipitate.

Hãy tìm công thức hóa học của những oxit có thành phần khối lượng như sau S:50%; C:42,8%; Mn:49,6%; Pb:86,6%
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Find the chemical formulas of oxides that contain the following composition:

S:50%; C:42,8%; Mn:49,6%; Pb:86,6%

Explanation:

In the given oxide of sulphur,

50%S is present that means remaining 50% is O.

Divide the % with atomic mass:

S                                     O

50/32= 1.5625            50/16=3.125

divide with smallest ratio:

1.5625/1.5625=1              3.125/1.5625=2

Hence, the formula of oxide is SO_2.

Similarly:

Carbon is 42.8% means the reamining % will be O that is 57.2%.

C                                                    O

42.8/12=3.575                         57.2/16=3.575

Divide with smallest ratio:

3.575/3.575=1                            3.575/3.575=1

Hence, the formula of oxide is CO.

Mn is 49.6% means the remining is % is O that is 50.4%.

First divide with atmic mass of respective element, then get the smallest ratio.

That gives the mole ratio of each constituent atom.

Mn                                 O

49.6/55.0=0.90            50.4/16=3.15

0.90/0.90=1                   3.15/0.90=3.5

Multiply with two

2                                        7

Hence, the formula becomes:

Mn_2O_7

Pb is 86.6% means ---remaining 13.4% is O.

Pb                                               O

86.6/207 = 0.418 mol                13.4/16=0.85

0.418/0.418=1                               0.85/0.418=2.0

Hence, the formula is:PbO_2
