why is uranium 235 the most commonly used isotope for nuclear fission in current uses in nuclear power generation?

This is because U-235 decays naturally by a process known as alpha radiation. This means that it releases an alpha particle (two neutrons and two protons connected together).
Another reason that U-235 is ideal for producing nuclear power is that unlike most materials, U-235 can undergo induced fission. When a free neutron collides with a U-235 nucleus, the nucleus will usually capture the neutron and split extremely quickly. The splitting of a single U-235 atom can release roughly 200 MeV (million electron volts).

Deprenyl is an enzyme inhibitor that helps prevent the metabolism of dopamine in the brain. The chemical formula of Deprenyl is

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

0.007 g of deprenyl dose is required fro the patient with body mass of 70 kilograms.

Explanation:

The dose for treating Parkinson’s disease = 100 μg/kg body weight

Mass of patient's body = 70 kg

Amount of dose of deprenyl required = 100 μg/kg × 70 kg = 7,000 μg

1 μg = 0.00001 g

7,000 μg = 7,000 × 0.000001 g = 0.007 g

0.007 g of deprenyl dose is required fro the patient with body mass of 70 kilograms.

Carbonyl fluoride, COF2, is an important intermediate used in the production of fluorine-containing compounds. For instance, it

lions [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of $COF_2$ is 0.332 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial concentration of $COF_2$ = 2.00 M

The given chemical equation follows:

$2COF_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+CF_4(g)$

<u>Initial:</u> 2.00

<u>At eqllm:</u> 2.00-2x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[CO_2][CF_4]}{[COF_2]^2}$

We are given:

$K_c=6.30$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$6.30=\frac{x\times x}{(2.00-2x)^2}\\\\x=0.834,1.25$

Neglecting the value of x = 1.25 because equilibrium concentration of the reactant will becomes negative, which is not possible

So, equilibrium concentration of $COF_2=(2.00-2x)=[2.00-(2\times 0.834)]=0.332M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of $COF_2$ is 0.332 M
