what is the chemical formula for concentrated plutonium exploding and igniting hydrogen and how could it be stabilized? i'm not

doing this IRL, so don't worry!

Basically, an atomic bomb relying on pure fission like a plutonium bomb works by chain reactions. However, something must initiate the chain of reactions : that's where Hydrogen comes in:

the fission reaction of Uranium is U+n\rightarrow Sr+Xe+2n where n is a neutron. Hydrogen is basically a neutron and an electron; it's thus quite easy to start the reaction with hydrogen.

There is no known way to significantly reduce radioactive decay as far as I know (I might be wrong), or to turn radioactive plutonium into non-radioactive plutonium without tearing the molecules apart.

Getting empirical formula, but they also gave molar mass too.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Empirical formula is PNCl₂

Explanation:

Percent composition means that 100 g of compound has x g of each element.

In 100 g of compound x, we have 26.73 g of P, 12.09 g of N, 61.18 g of Cl.

So, let's make some rules of three:

In 100 g of compound we have 26.73 g of P, 12.09 g of N, 61.18 g of Cl

In 579.43 g of compound we have:

(579.43 . 26.73) / 100 = 155 g of P

(579.43 . 12.09) / 100 = 70 g of N

(579.43 . 61.18) / 100 = 354 g of Cl

Let's convert the mass of the elements in moles.

155 g of P / 30.97 g/mol = 5 P

70 g / 14 g/mol = 5 N

354 g / 35.45 g/mol = 10 Cl

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen gas according to the following equation: 2H2O2(aq)  2H2O(l) + O2(g) If 31
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

141.89 dm^3

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2H2O2(aq) --------->2H2O(l) + O2(g)

Now , we are told that the mass of hydrogen peroxide decomposed was 315g. Number of moles of hydrogen peroxide in 315g of the substance is given by;

Number of moles= mass/molar mass

Molar mass of hydrogen peroxide= 34.0147 g/mol

Number of moles= 315g/34.0147 g/mol = 9.26 moles of hydrogen hydrogen peroxide.

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of hydrogen peroxide yields 1 mole of oxygen

9.26 moles of hydrogen peroxide yields 9.26 ×1/2 = 4.63 moles of oxygen

From the ideal gas equation;

Volume of the gas V= the unknown

Pressure of the gas P= 0.792 atm

Temperature of the gas= 23°C +273 = 296 K

Number of moles of oxygen = 4.63 moles of oxygen

R= 0.082atmdm^3K-1mol-1

Hence, from PV=nRT

V= nRT/P

V= 4.63 × 0.082 × 296/0.792 = 141.89 dm^3

To improve air quality and obtain a useful product, chemists often remove sulfur from coal and natural gas by treating the conta
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1) Increase

2) Decreases

3) increases

4) Increase

Explanation:

These questions can only be answered by considering the principle which states that, "When a constraint such as a change in concentration, pressure or volume is imposed on a reaction system in equilibrium. The system will readjust itself in order to annul the constraint."  

Now, if more reactants are added, the equilibrium position will shift towards the right, If more products are added, the equilibrium position will shift to the left.

Similarly, the removal of H2S causes the O2 concentration to increase since the equilibrium position now shifts to the left.

Also, addition of O2 causes H2S to be removed as the equilibrium moves to the right.
