Why might nuclear fusion be a better source of energy on earth than nuclear fission?

Chemistry
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]4 years ago

<span>Cost and availability of fuel is a considerable factor when dealing with nuclear power. Fission requires an element that can be easily split in a particle accelerator, such as uranium or plutonium. Fusion, on the other hand, uses isotopes of hydrogen atoms, specifically deuterium and tritium, that can be obtained from ordinary water</span>

An herbicide contains only C, H, Cl, and N. The complete combustion of a 200.0 mg sample of the herbicide in excess oxygen produ
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

%C = 56,1%

%H = 5,5%

%Cl = 27,6%

%N = 10,8%

Explanation:

The moles of CO₂ are the same than moles of C in the herbicide.

Moles of H₂O are ¹/₂ of moles of H in the herbicide.

Moles of CO₂ are obtained using:

n = PV/RT

Where, in STP: P is 1 atm; V is 0,2092L; R is 0,082atmL/molK; T is 273 K

moles of CO₂ are: 9,345x10⁻³ mol≡ mol of C×12,01g/mol = <em>0,1122 g of C ≡ 112,2mg of C</em>

In the same way, moles of H₂O are 5,450x10⁻³mol×2 =0,1090 mol of H×1,01g/mol = <em>0,0110 g of H ≡ 11,0mg of H</em>

As you have 55,14 mg of Cl, the mg of N are:

200,0mg - 112,2 mg of C - 11,0 mg of H - 55,14 mg of Cl = 21,66 mg of N

Thus, precent composition of the herbicide is:

%C = \frac{112,2 mgC}{200,0mg}×100 = 56,1%C

%H = \frac{11,0 mgH}{200,0mg}×100 = 5,5%H

%Cl = \frac{55,14 mgCl}{200,0mg}×100 = 27,6%Cl

%N = \frac{21,66 mgN}{200,0mg}×100 = 10,8%N

I hope it helps!

worty [1.4K]

Answer : The order of reaction with respect to A is, first order reaction.

The order of reaction with respect to B is, zero order reaction.

The overall order of reaction is, first order reaction.  

Explanation :

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

A+B\rightarrow Products

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

Expression for rate law for first observation:

3.20\times 10^{-1}=k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

3.20\times 10^{-1}=k(1.50)^a(2.50)^b ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

6.40\times 10^{-1}=k(3.00)^a(1.50)^b ....(3)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

\frac{3.20\times 10^{-1}}{3.20\times 10^{-1}}=\frac{k(1.50)^a(2.50)^b}{k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b}\\\\1=1.66^b\\b=0

Dividing 1 from 3, we get:

\frac{6.40\times 10^{-1}}{3.20\times 10^{-1}}=\frac{k(3.00)^a(1.50)^b}{k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[A]^1[B]^0

\text{Rate}=k[A]

Thus,

The order of reaction with respect to A is, first order reaction.

The order of reaction with respect to B is, zero order reaction.

The overall order of reaction is, first order reaction.
