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

Chemistry
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]4 years ago
5 0
<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>

The volume of the ideal gas in the container is 9 m3. What would the volume be if four more blocks were placed on top of the lid
7nadin3 [17]
Answer;
             4.5 m³

Solution:
              The statement says that two blocks are present on a lid of a container with volume of 9 m³. The mass of lid is equal to the mass of two blocks. It means that initially there are four blocks (or four atm pressure) upon 9 m³ volume. 

After that four more blocks are placed on the lid. Means the pressure is increased from 4 atm to 8 atm (2 atm of lid, 2 atm of old blocks, 4 atm of new four blocks).

So, Data generated is,

                  P₁  =  4 atm

                  V₁  =  9 m³

                  P₂  =  8 atm

                  V₂  =  ?

According to Boyle's Law,

                               P₁ V₁  =  P₂ V₂

Solving for V₂,
                               V₂  =  P₁ V₁ / P₂

Putting values,
                               V₂  =  (4 atm × 9 m³) ÷ 8 atm

                               V₂  =  4.5 m³

For the gas phase decomposition of t-butyl propionate,C2H5COOC(CH3)3 (CH3)2C=CH2 + C2H5COOHthe rate constant at 540 K is 8.90×10
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The activation energy is 164.02 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Log (k2/k1) = Ea/2.303R × [1/T1 - 1/T2]

k1 = 8.9×10^-4 s^-1

k2 = 9.83×10^-3 s^-1

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

T1 = 540 K

T2 = 578 K

Log (9.83×10^-3/8.9×10^-4) = Ea/2.303×8.314 × [1/540 - 1/578]

1.043 = 6.359×10^-6Ea

Ea = 1.043/6.359×10^-6 = 164020 J/mol = 164020/1000 = 164.02 kJ/mol

The solubility of a salt in a given volume of water depends primarily on the A) surface area of the salt crystals B) temperature
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option B (temperature of the water).

Explanation:

  • The solubility of that same salt which appears whenever the substance is added in some kind of a fluid which already incorporates another origin of many of its atoms.
  • The solubility of such a substance throughout a given quantity of water is predominantly dependent on the whole of the water temperature.

What are some properties of an ice cube that tell you it is a solid? Write at least one property, and explain
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Well ice cubes are normally liquids but it is frozen water making it a solid. Since they are made of water particles, they wouldn't normally be a solid, but the particles are packed close enough together to make it one. Hope this helps! :D
