Control rods in a nuclear reactor control a chain reaction by absorbing neutrons. Option C

<h3>What are control rods?</h3>

The control rods are rods that are inserted into the nuclear reactor in order to absorb the neutrons thereby preventing the nuclear reaction from going out of hand.

Hence, control rods in a nuclear reactor control a chain reaction by absorbing neutrons. Option C

he thermite reaction, in which powdered aluminum reacts with iron(III) oxide, is highly exothermic. 2 Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) Al2O3(s)
Afina-wow [57]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is

The thermite reaction, in which powdered aluminum reacts with iron oxide, is highly exothermic: 2Al(s)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Al_2O_3(s)+2Fe(s). Use standard enthalpies of formation to find ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction. Express the heat of the reaction in kilojoules to four significant figures.

Answer: ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction is -851.5 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2Al(s)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Al_2O_3(s)+2Fe(s)

We have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction (\Delta H^o).

\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}

\Delta H^o=[n_{Fe}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Fe)}+n_{Al_2O_3}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Al_2O_3)}]-[n_{Al}\times \Delta H_f^0_(Al)+n_{Fe_2O_3}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Fe_2O_3)}]

where,

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(Fe_2O_3(s))}=-824.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Al_2O_3(s))}=-1675.7kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Fe(s))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Al(s)}=0kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times 0)+(1\times -1675.5)]-[(2\times 0)+(1\times -824.2)]=-851.5kJ

ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction is -851.5 kJ

Choose the best option for the precursor to the tosylate intermediate Design a synthesis of cis-2-methylcyclopentyl acetate from
kumpel [21]

Answer:

To synthesize cis-2-methylcyclopentyl from methycyclopentanol, you need to replace the acetate hydroxyl group with acetate by inverting the configuration.  

Explanation:

To understand the process, you need to understand the nucleophilic mechanism taking place in the process. This is the first stage of the process. Hydroxide is a poor leaving group, to it must be converted to a good leaving group. To effect the change, it is necessary to use p-toluenesuphate.

p-toluenesuphate is favored because this can be prepared by a reaction that alters none of the bonds attached to the stereogenic center.

The reaction of p-toluensulfonate with potassium acetate in acetic acid effects the conversion to give the final product: cis-2-methylcyclopentyl.

How many moles of potassium are in 78.20 g?
Fynjy0 [20]
The answer to this question would be: 2 mol

To answer this question, you need to know the molecular weight of Potassium. Molecular weight determines how much the weight of 1 mol of a molecule has. 
Potassium or Kalium molecular weight is 39.1 gram/mol. Then, 78.20gram of potassium should be: 78.20g/ (39.1g/mol)= 2 mol
