Imagine that you have many U-235 atoms and you fire a neutron at one of them. What do you think will happen?

Damm [24]2 years ago

The correct answer is Release of large amount of heat and radiation.

U-235, which makes up just over 0.7% of natural uranium, is relatively uncommon; uranium is nearly 100 times more frequent than silver.Because uranium-235, one of the radioactive metal's isotopes, is the only naturally occurring isotope capable of supporting a nuclear fission process, radioactive metal is special. Nuclear power facilities, as well as the nuclear reactors that power ships and submarines, can be powered by uranium that has been "enriched" to have a higher proportion of U-235. In nuclear weapons, it can also be applied. Examples of extremely unstable fission fragments produced by uranium-235 fission events caused by neutron absorption include the barium and krypton nuclei. These pieces nearly instantly split into barium-144 and krypton-89 by releasing three neutrons between them.

Lithium reacts with bromine (Br2) in a synthesis reaction to produce lithium bromide. Determine the limiting reactant if 25.0 gr
Lunna [17]

Answer: Bromine is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

First of all let's generate a balanced equation for the reaction

2Li + Br2 —> 2LiBr

Molar Mass of Li = 7g/mol

Molar Mass of Br2 = 2x80 = 160g/mol

From the question given, were told that 25g of Li and 25g Br2 were present at the take-off of the reaction. Converting these Masses to mole, we have:

Number of mole of Li = 25/7 = 3.6moles

Number of mole of Br2 = 25/160 = 0.156mol.

To know which is the limiting reactant, we have to compare the ratio of the number of mole of experimental Li and Br2 to that of theoretical Li and Br2

For the experimental yield:

Li : Br2 = 3.6/ 0.156 = 23 : 1

For the theoretical yield:

Li : Br = 2 : 1

From the above, we see clear that Br2 is the limiting reactant because according to the equation( which gives the theoretical yield), for every 2moles of Li, 1mole of Br2 is used up. But this is not so from the experiment conducted as 23moles required 1mole of Br2.

Which of the following is NOT a method of transferring heat?
Eva8 [605]
The answer is Reduction. All three methods (convection, radiation, and conduction) are all ways of transferring heat. Convection is the transfer of heat by means of a medium such as air. Conduction is the transfer of heat from the contact of two surfaces at different temperatures. Radiation is the transfer of heat via electromagnetic waves.

Reduction is a chemical reaction that involves the gain of electrons. It is the opposite of oxidation which involves the loss of electrons.

<span>An exothermic reaction is one in which there is the production of heat whereas an endothermic reaction is one in which heat is absorbed. For the choices above, the answer would be letter B. Ice melting in water and an ice pack turning cold absorbs heat which is why it is an endothermic reaction. Exploding fireworks and gasoline burning gives off heat which is why it is an exothermic reaction.</span>
