1/3 fraction of the original uranium-235 should be left after 3.5 billion years

The only naturally occurring isotope of this radioactive metal, uranium-235, is capable of supporting a nuclear fission reaction, making it special. A variation of an element called an isotope has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Approximately 93.5 percent of the uranium used in modern nuclear bombs is enriched.

On average, plutonium-239 makes up 93% or more of nuclear bombs, whereas plutonium-240 makes up less than 7% and other plutonium isotopes are present in extremely minute amounts. A nuclear bomb requires around 33 pounds (15 kilograms) of enriched uranium to function, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.

What orbital do the transition metals finish their electron configuration in
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

d orbitals

Explanation:

Transition  metals are generally known as d-block elements. The electronic configuration of all transition elements finish in a d-orbital weather they are first row, second row or third row transition elements. This is the thread that holds all the elements of the transition series together.

This is why elements of the transition series are generally called the d-block elements.

Why does a permeable rock weather chemically at a fast rate?
ki77a [65]
<span>Water soaks into it easily and during freeze-thaw cycles would be more likely to break apart because of the water freezing and thawing inside the rock. The water freezes and expands inside the rock, causing the surface to break off in flakes from the pressure of the expanding ice inside.</span>

Given these reactions, X ( s ) + 1 2 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ XO ( s ) Δ H = − 668.5 k J / m o l XCO 3 ( s ) ⟶ XO ( s ) + CO 2 ( g ) Δ H = +

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1052.8 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

X(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow XCO_3(s)      \Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) X(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow XO(s)    \Delta H_1=-668.5kJ

(2) XCO_3(s)\rightarrow XO(s)+CO_2     \Delta H_2=+384.3kJ

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times \Delta H_1]+[1\times (-\Delta H_2)]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-668.5))+(1\times (-384.3))=-1052.8kJ

Hence, the \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1052.8 kJ.

when particles of matter are in direct contact and movement occurs in the substance due to convection, thermal energy transfers
liq [111]

Thermal energy transfers in a solid state, due to convection, in metalic substances.

This is because the covalent bonds between the atoms are being broken and reformed again while the metal is experiencing stress. <em>covalent bonds store energy.  </em>
