Answer:

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting apart nuclei. When nuclei fission energy is released. So much energy is released that there is a measurable decrease in mass, from the mass-energy equivalence. This means that some of the mass is converted to energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

Fission is the break of the nuclei of an unstable atom, releasing heat in the process. By the graph shown, U-238 has less average binding energy per nucleon comparing to U-235. Because it has less binding energy, it is more difficult for it to react (it has less energy to release), so it is more stable than U-235.

The product of its fission is the U-235, an isotope that has a small mass than the uranium. So the mass that is lost during fission is converted to the binding energy in the isotope, making it slightly higher (the difference of mass is only 3 amu).

Answer : The partial pressure of $SO_3$ is, 67.009 atm

Solution : Given,

Partial pressure of $SO_2$ at equilibrium = 30.6 atm

Partial pressure of $O_2$ at equilibrium = 13.9 atm

Equilibrium constant = $K_p=0.345$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ will be,

$K_p=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(p_{SO_2})^2\times (p_{O_2})}$

Now put all the values of partial pressure, we get

$0.345=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(30.6)^2\times (13.9)}$

$p_{SO_3}=67.009atm$

Therefore, the partial pressure of $SO_3$ is, 67.009 atm

The "Biltmore Agreement" stipulated that a. remote broadcasts could not emanate from hotels. b. NBC could not give away tickets

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The "Biltmore Agreement" stipulated that:

Radio stations agreed to broadcast no longer than five minutes of news, twice per day, while using information supplied by the newspapers.

e. radio stations could only air five-minutes newscasts a day.

Explanation:

The Biltmore Agreement tried to reconcile within the press war between newspapers and radio, as during its golden age the newspapers´ revenues decreased. Radio´s brand new technology was more attractive and creative for advertising and could report breaking news faster than the newspapers, which through the press associations including the Associated Press and the United Press, pressured to stop providing news to radio stations beginning a war in 1933, which partially ended with the Biltmore Agreement, which restricted the radio´s broadcasting of news if the newspapers continued publishing radio listings, radio stations were to broadcast no longer than five minutes of news, twice per day, if information supplied by the newspapers was used, no sponsors were allowed, and no more that 30 words in a single story were allowed either; radio stations had to include: "See your daily newspaper for further details" in their announcements and, could only broadcast news after 9:30 AM for morning news, and after 9:00 PM for evening news, so people would have already received their newspapers.

When the canoe leaked, the boat sank because it has a leak. The boat must have a strong base at its bottom to enable itself to float. If this is damaged, the water can now enter due to the hole thereby increasing the velocity of water coming in.
