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

Chemistry

Helga [31]2 years ago

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>

postnew [5]

Answer:

178.98 sq. feet

Explanation:

The path and the garden has been shown in the figure below. The green area is the garden and the area in brown is the path.

It has been given that,

Radius of garden = 8 feet

So, the area of garden = 3.14 × 8 × 8 = 200.96 sq. feet

The total radius of the land including garden and path = 8 + 3 = 11 feet

So, the total are of land including garden and path = 3.14 × 11 × 11 = 379.94 sq. feet

So, the area of path = Total area of the land - area of garden

Area of path = 379.94 - 200.96 = 178.98 sq. feet

How many moles of electrons must be transferred to plate out 110 g of manganese (MW ~ 55g/mol) from a solution of permanganate (
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

14 mol e⁻

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate to manganese

8 H⁺(aq) + 7 e⁻ + MnO₄⁻(aq) ⇒ Mn(s) + 4 H₂O(l)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 110 g of manganese

The molar mass of Mn is 55 g/mol.

110 g × 1 mol/55 g = 2 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of electrons needed to produce 2 moles of Mn

According to the half-reaction, 7 moles of electrons are required to produce 1 mole of Mn.

2 mol Mn × 7 mol e⁻/1 mol Mn = 14 mol e⁻
