Nuclear power plants use a fission reaction of uranium to generate heat to power a generator. A fission reaction is a chain reac

tion that continues to build and create more heat. How is the chain reaction controlled?
A.
The amount of uranium fuel can be reduced to slow the chain reaction down.
B.
The plant uses control rods that can be inserted into the reaction vessel to control the reaction.
C.
Water is added to the reaction to the reaction vessel to cool it down and slow the chain reaction.
D.
The extra heat that is created from the chain reaction is released into the air and keeps the reaction under control.

ANSWER
B.

Explanation : it’s B because the control rods used are usually made of boron which boron is a non fissile material hence won’t undergo fission when bombarded or collided with neutrons.

Repulsion of electrons within two interacting molecules produces changes in electron distribution. This change in electron distr
ycow [4]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This explains how two noble gases molecules can have an attractive force between them.

This force is called as van dar Waals forces.

It plays a fundamental role in fields in as diverse as supramolecular chemistry structural biology .

If no other forces are present, the point at which the force becomes repulsive rather than attractive as two atoms near one another is called the van der Waals contact distance. This results from the electron clouds of two atoms unfavorably coming into contact.[1] It can be shown that van der Waals forces are of the same origin as the Casimir effect, arising from quantum interactions with the zero-point field.[2] The resulting van der Waals forces can be attractive or repulsive.[3] It is also sometimes used loosely as a synonym for the totality of intermolecular forces.[4] The term includes the force between permanent dipoles (Keesom force), the force between a permanent dipole and a corresponding induced dipole (Debye force), and the force between instantaneously induced dipoles

how many kilograms of water must evaporate from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution?
Lena [83]

Answer: The kilograms of water must evaporate from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution is 3 kg.

Explanation:

According to the ratio and proportion:

C_1m_1=C_2m_2

where,

C_1 = concentration of ist solution = 25%

m_1 = mass of ist solution = 8 kg

C_2 = concentration of second solution = 40%

m_2 = mass of second solution = ? kg

25\times 8=40\times m_2

m_2=5kg

Thus the final solution must have a mass of 5 kg , i.e (8-5)= 3 kg of mass must be evaporated.

Therefore, the mass that must be evaporated from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution is 3 kg.
