Answer:

Nuclear fission

Explanation:

All nuclear reactors in operation are based on the principle of nuclear fission of Uranium nuclide to produce energy. These is produced is being controlled and is used in heating water to steam. The steam is then harnessed to drive or power steam turbines which is used for the generation of electricity.

Determine the change in boiling point for 397.7 g of carbon disulfide (Kb = 2.34°C kg/mol) if 35.0 g of a nonvolatile, nonionizi

Answer: The change in boiling point for 397.7 g of carbon disulfide (Kb = 2.34°C kg/mol) if 35.0 g of a nonvolatile, nonionizing compound is dissolved in it is $2.9^0C$

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point:

$T_b-T^o_b=i\times k_b\times \frac{w_2\times 1000}{M_2\times w_1}$

where,

$T_b$ = boiling point of solution = ?

$T^o_b$ = boiling point of pure carbon disulfide= $46.2^oC$

$k_b$ = boiling point constant = $2.34^0Ckg/mol$

m = molality

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

$w_2$ = mass of solute = 35.0 g

$w_1$ = mass of solvent (carbon disulphide) = 397.7 g

$M_2$ = molar mass of solute = 70.0 g/mol

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$(T_b-46.2)^oC=1\times (2.34^oC/m)\times \frac{(35.0g)\times 1000}{70.0\times (397.7g)}$

$T_b=49.1^0C$

Therefore, the change in boiling point is $(49.1-46.2)^oC=2.9^0C$

A girl throws a rock into a pond. A leaf floating on the pond bobs up and down but does not change location on the pond's surfac

sertanlavr [38]

This is due to the difference in density. The rock is denser than the leaf. And also, the rock is denser than the liquid in the pond. If the material is denser than the other material, it will sink. The same holds true for the rock, it sinks. But when the material is less dense than the other material, it floats. And it holds true for the leaf, it floats.
