The statement that describes a chain reaction brought about by a nuclear reaction is "neutrons <span>released during a fission reaction cause other nuclei to split." This is applicable to fission reactions only wherein atoms split and produce neutrons that also cause further atoms to split, thus creating a chain or series of reactions.</span>
Answer:
18 electrons
Explanation:
Note: The third energy level can actually hold up to 18 electrons, so it is not really filled when it has 8 electrons in it.
Answer: 17.34 grams of alum will be produced if 0.9875 g of Aluminium foil was used.
Explanation: Reaction to form alum from Aluminium is given as:

We are given Aluminium to be the limiting reactant, so the formation of alum will be dependent on Aluminium because it limits the formation of product.
By stoichiometry,
2 moles of Al is producing 2 moles of Alum
Mass of 2 moles of Aluminium = (2 × 27)g/mol = 54 g/mol
Mass of 2 moles of alum = (2 × 474)g/mol = 948 g/mol
54 g/mol of aluminium will produce 948 g/mol of alum, so

Amount of Alum produced = 17.34 grams
Theoretical yield of alum = 17.34 grams.
Assuming all other conditions equal, then, yes, the density would not change regardless of the mass of the substance. This is because the density is a ratio of the mass substance to its volume. If you increase the mass, the volume displaced would also be greater. So, it would just adjust making the density constant. This is applicable if it is at the same temperature and pressure conditions.
