The correct answer is the second option. During fusion, uranium atoms are fused together. Fusion reaction happens when two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.
The correct response I believe is D. The reaction rate increases because the probability of collisions increases as there are more Zn atoms to react.
The balanced chemical equation for the production of chromium metal from the reaction of chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc is:
3 Zn + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃ → 2 Cr + 3 Zn(NO₃)₂
This is a redox reaction, which <u>is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reagents</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states. In the proposed reaction, Cr oxidation state goes from +3 to 0, becoming metallic chromium, while Zn goes from being Zn⁰ to Zn²⁺.
<u>The mass of chromium metal produced in the above reaction will be,</u>
425.0 mL x

x
= 5.52 g
So, the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess is 5.52 g of Cr.
