The phrase which best describes nuclear fusion is: A. the process by which small nuclei combine into a larger nucleus.

A nuclear reaction can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which the nucleus of an atom of a radioactive chemical element is transformed by either being joined (fusion) or split (fission) with the nucleus of another atom of a radioactive chemical element and accompanied by a release of energy.

Generally, there are two (2) main types of nuclear reaction and these include:

<u>Nuclear fission:</u> it involves the collision of a heavy atomic nucleus with a neutron, thereby causing a split and release of energy.

<u>Nuclear fusion:</u> it involves the joining of two smaller nuclei of atoms to form a single massive or heavier (larger) nucleus with the release of energy.

In conclusion, nuclear fusion is best described as the process by which small nuclei combine into a larger nucleus, accompanied by a release of energy.

3. A 0.025L solution of HCl is neutralized by 0.018L of a 1.0 M NaOH solution. What is the concentration of the HCl solution?

Nookie1986 [14]

The concentration of the HCl solution is 0.72 M.

<h3>How do we calculate the concentration?</h3>

Concentration of the required solution by the use of the known concentration solution will be determine by using the below equation as:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂, where

M₁ & V₁ are the molarity and volume of the HCl solution.
M₂ & V₂ are the molarity and volume of the NaOH solution.

On putting values in the above equation, we get

M₁ = (1)(0.018) / (0.025) = 0.72 M

Hence required concentration of HCl is 0.72M.

Which of these substances most likely dissolve in water? check all that apply.

vlada-n [284]

The answer is:

glucose, a polar organic compound

silver nitrate, an ionic compound

<span>The two have net charges that enable them to attract with water molecules. Water molecules are partly charged because of the arrangement of electron clouds around the molecule. The oxygen atom in the molecule is more electronegative than the two hydrogens. Therefore water is able to form electrostatic attraction forces with the charged molecules</span>

A structural model of retinol is shown below. How many hydrogen atoms are

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

A. 30

Explanation:

Retinol is the chemical form of Vitamin A. It has a chemical formula of C20H30O.

It is processed when retinyl palmitate is broken down in the small intestine. Retinol helps in the proper regulation of eye cells hence a vital component in ensuring good eye sight.

It also helps in the neutralization of free radicals in the body and acts as an antioxidant which prevents cells of the body from ageing.

When molten sulfur reacts with chlorine gas, a vile-smelling orange liquid forms that has an empirical formula of SCl. The struc

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The structure is shown below.

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) is the charge that is more close to the actual charge in the real molecules and ions. It can be calculated based on the number of valence electrons (V), the shared electrons (S) and the electrons in the lone pairs (L) by the equation:

FC = V - (L + S/2)

Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons, and chlorine is from group 17 of the periodic table, and so it has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can share only one electron, so it is stable. Sulfur can expand its octet (because it's from the third period) and can have more than 8 electrons when stable.

The possible formulas, from the empiric one, are:

SCl, S₂Cl₂, and S₃Cl₃.

To have FC = 0, chlorine must done only one bond, because S = 2, and L = 6, so:

FC = 7 - (6 + 2/2) = 0

So, it can not be the central atom of a structure. In the SCl, it will hav only a simple bond, so for sulfur, S = 2, and L = 4 (only the lone pairs are counted)

FC = 6 - (4+ 2/2) = +1

For S₂Cl₂, the two sulfurs must be bonded to a simple bond, and each one to one chlorine, thus, for both od them S = 4, and L = 4. so

FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0

So, it is the correct structure. The lewis structure represents the bonds by lines and the lone pairs of electrons by dots, and it is shown below.
