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.

What is the formula for the Ksp of Fe(OH)3 ? Use the equation mc011-1.jpg
zhenek [66]
Ksp, the product of solubility constant is given by the product of the concentrations in the equilibrium of the species on the right hand of the equillibrium reaction, each raised to a power that is its coeffiicient in the equillibrium reaction.

So you must start by writing the equilibrium reaction:

Fe(OH)3 (s) ----> Fe(3+) aq  +   3 (OH-) aq

Now you can state the formula for the Ksp

=> Ksp = [Fe (3+) aq] [OH-]^3

So, the answer is the third option of the list.

The Aufbau Principle describes that
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

electrons fill lower energy levels first before occupying higher energy levels.

Explanation:

The Aufbau's principle describes that electrons fill lower energy levels first before occupying higher energy levels.

In writing the electronic configuration of atoms, the Aufbau's principle is one of the most important principles to consider.

It states that "sublevels with with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".

Sublevels do not fill up in numerical order.

In a certain chemical process, water reacts with a compound, and the water is converted into another compound during the reactio
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

hydration reaction

Explanation:

The type of reaction would be hydration reaction.

<u>Hydration reaction generally involves a chemical reaction of water with another reactant and in which the water ends up being converted to another product entirely. </u>

A good example of hydration reaction is the reaction between alkene and water leading to the production of alcohol.

CH_2=CH_2(g)   +   H_2O(g)  ⇄  CH_3CH_2OH(g)
