How does the fission of uranium-235 produce a chain reaction?

Chemistry

If an least one neutron from U-235 fission<span> strikes another nucleus and causes it to fission, then the chain reaction will continue. If the reaction will sustain itself, it is said to be "critical", and the mass of U-235 required to produced the critical condition is said to be a "</span>critical mass<span>". A critical chain reaction can be achieved at low concentrations of U-235 if the neutrons from fission are </span>moderated<span> to lower their speed, since the probability for fission with slow neutrons is greater.  Hope that helps ya.</span>

Explain the chemistry behind global warming in 3-5 sentences
Oliga [24]

Answer:

When factories mass produce something it produces smoke. That smoke can be harmful to something called the ozone layer. The ozone layer is part of earth's atmosphere that protects us from the suns burning heat. When that layer is damaged the sun's heat burns through heating up the world and melting ice causing the water levels to rise. All of this can make working conditions less safe, cause more flooding, and have the sun cause cancer.

Answer:

iron = 15000 kg 95% sulfuric acid = 27646.32 kg

Explanation:

The molar volume to a gas is 22.4 L, which means that a mole of a given gas at 0°C and 1 atm will have a volume os 22.4 L.

1 m3 - 1000 L

4870 m3 - x

x = 4870 * 1000 = 4.87 *10^6 L

1 mole - 22.4 L

y mole - 4.87 * 10^6 L

y = \frac{4.87 * 10^6}{22.4} = 2,17 *10^5 moles (if 100% of the H2 is used)

as 20% of it is lost, we need to know how much more we need to use.

80% - 2.17 * 10^5 moles

100% - z

z = \frac{2.17* 10^7}{80} = 2,68*10^5 moles

so we would need 2.68*10^5 moles of iron and sulfuric acid.

1 mole of iron - 56 *10^-3 kg

2.68*10^5 moles - t

t= 2.68*56 *10^2 = 15000 kg

1 mole of sulfuric acid - 98 * 10^-3 kg

2.68*10^5 - u

u = 2.68*98 *10^2 = 26264 kg (if 100%)

95% - 26264 kg

100% - v

v = \frac{26264 * 100}{95} = 27646.32 kg

In one compound of nitrogen and oxygen, 0.615 grams of nitrogen combines with 0.703 grams of oxygen. In another 1.27 grams of ni
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

In the first case, we divide each of the masses by the respective atomic masses:

N =0.615/14 = 0.043928571428571

O = 0.703/16 = 0.0439375

It can be seen here that the values are similar, hence the formula is NO

now let us look at the second data set:

N = 1.27/14 = 0.090714285714286

O = 2.9/16 = 0.18125

We now divide by the smallest

N = 090714285714286/090714285714286 = 1

O = 0.18125/090714285714286 = 2

The formula here is thus NO2.

It can be seen that there are different oxides of nitrogen here which clearly indicates the law of multiple proportion.
