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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago
3 0
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>

How many atoms of oxygen are represented in 3Fe(NO3)2?
nexus9112 [7]
There are 18. In each molecule of Fe(NO3)2 there are 6 oxygen atoms because you have 2 nitrate (NO3) components which each contain 3 oxygen atoms. 2 x 3 = 6. Because you have 3 molecules of Fe(NO3)2, you need to multiply 6 by 3, which gives you 18 oxygen atoms.

How many moles (of molecules or formula units) are in each sample?
Alexus [3.1K]

The number of moles in each sample will be 0.391 moles, 30.7 moles, 0.456 moles, and 1350 moles

<h3>What is the number of moles?</h3>

The number of moles of a substance is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the molar mass.

In other words; mole = mass/molar mass.

Thus:

  • moles of 18.0 g NO_2 = 18.0/46

                                   = 0.391 moles

  • moles of 1.35 kg CO_2 = 1350/44

                                         = 30.7 moles

  • moles of 46.1 g KNO_3 = 46.1/101.1

                                          = 0.456 moles

  • moles of 191.8 kg Na_2SO_4 = 191800/142

                                                 = 1350 moles

Think about agriculture research which of the following statements is accurate?
irina [24]

A.genetic modification of food helps it grow more easily in certain areas

Explanation:

The statement genetic modification of food helps it grow more easily in certain areas is a form of agricultural research that is very accurate.

Genetically modifying food is common practice in order to encourage desirable and sustainable traits in plant species.

  • Drought resistant breeds can tolerate a much lower level of water in some specific areas.
  • Disease resistant breeds are more adapted to outbreaks of plant epidemics.
  • Overall, genetic modification of food helps them to grow and produce better.

4. Describe the movement of the water molecules at cold temperatures.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Point out to students that molecules of hot water are moving faster and are slightly further apart. The molecules of cold water are moving slower and are a little closer together. If students do not notice a difference, move the slider all the way to the left again and then quickly to the right.

2. How do molecules move in cold water?

Compare the speed of molecules in hot water compared to molecules in cold water? Water molecules move faster in hot water and slower in cold water. water molecules in cold, room temperature, and hot water. most of the liquid.
