This is because U-235 decays naturally by a process known as alpha radiation. This means that it releases an alpha particle (two neutrons and two protons connected together).
Another reason that U-235 is ideal for producing nuclear power is that unlike most materials, U-235 can undergo induced fission. When a free neutron collides with a U-235 nucleus, the nucleus will usually capture the neutron and split extremely quickly. The splitting of a single U-235 atom can release roughly 200 MeV (million electron volts).
Answer: The total pressure will be 1,11,720 torr.
Explanation:
Partial pressure of nitrogen gas.
(1atm = 760 torr)
Partial pressure of oxygen gas,
Total pressure, in torrs, of the scuba gas mixture = 40280 + 71440 torr =111,720 torr
Hence , the total pressure in scuba gas mixture is 111,720 torr.
Answer:
- <em><u>Option A. </u></em><u><em>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</em></u>
Explanation:
There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:
- Synthesis or combination reaction
- Single replacement reactions
- Double replacement reactions
The given reactions are:
- <u>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</u>
Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.
- <u>4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O</u> is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.
- <u>ZnS + 3 O₂ → 2ZnO + 2SO₂ </u>is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.
- <u>2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ </u>is a double replacement reaction because two ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).
