In nuclear fission heavier elements are split to make lighter elements whilst releasing energy. An atom, its nucleus to be more specific, is bombarded with neutrons. The nucleus becomes unstable and it starts to split/decay. It creates the fusion products. Neutrons and lighter elements are released; the neutrons from the nuclei of the atom(s) being split.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is the process in which a heavy nucleus is divided into two nuclei with smaller mass numbers, that is, lighter ones. This process provides enormous amounts of energy and consumes relatively small masses of material.

In general, when capturing a neutron, a heavy atomic nucleus experiences fission to produce two lighter nuclides, neutrons and large amounts of energy as depicted in the attached image.

Convert 8.50 moles Ca to atoms
Wewaii [24]

8.50 moles is equal to 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms of Ca.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to multiply the moles of Ca by the Avogadro's number:

= 6.022×10²³

So the number of atoms:

= 8.5 moles × 6.022×10²³atoms / mol

= 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms

Hence the 8.50 moles is equal to 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms of Ca.

What volume in liters of carbon monoxide will be required to produce 18.9 L of nitrogen in the reaction below
mina [271]

Answer:

37.8 L OF CARBON MONOXIDE IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 18.9 L OF NITROGEN.

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction:

2 CO + 2 NO ------> N2 + 2 CO2

2 moles of carbon monoxide reacts with 2 moles of NO to form 1 mole of nitrogen

At standard temperature and pressure, 1 mole of a gas contains 22.4 dm3 volume.

So therefore, we can say:

2 * 22.4 L of CO produces  22.4 L of N2

44.8 L of CO produces 22.4 L of N2

Since, 18.9 L of Nitrogen is produced, the volume of CO needed is:

44.8 L of CO = 22.4 L of N

x L = 18.9 L

x L = 18.9 * 44.8 / 22.4

x L = 18.9 * 2

x = 37.8 L

The volume of Carbon monoxide required to produce 18.9 L of N2 is 37.8 L
