Good morning!

<span>It requires extremely high temperatures to begin the reaction.

</span>
While nuclear fusion involves the union of atoms, fission is the breaking of an atomic nucleus into two smaller parts. For this to happen it is necessary that the atom reaches a very high temperature.

Answer: The correct answer is its chain reactions can be initiated by neutrons.

Explanation: There are 2 types of nuclear reactions:

1. Nuclear fission reaction: In these type of reaction, one larger nuclei breaks down into two or more smaller nuclie's. Its chain reaction is initiated when the nucleus is struck with neutrons.

2. Nuclear fusion reactions: In these type of reaction, two small nuclei combine together to form a single large molecule. This type of reaction requires high temperature to occur.

Both these reactions occur due to the change in the nuclei of an atom.

From the above information, the nuclear fission chain reactions re initiated by the neutrons.

The labeled diagram is given in the image attached.

As it can be seen from the image that freezing is when energy is removed from the system at 0 ⁰ while melting is when energy is added at 0⁰.

Also when energy is added at 100⁰C, it causes boiling while when it is removed at 100⁰C, it causes condensation.


Melting point of water is 0⁰C while boiling point is 100⁰C

2k+Cl2=2KCI how many grams of KCl is produced from 8.50 g of K and excess Cl2
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Mass = 16.4 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of K = 8.50 g

Mass of KCl produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2K + Cl₂     →    2KCl

Number of moles of K:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 8.50 g/ 39 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.22 mol

Now we will compare the moles of potassium and potassium chloride.

                  K         :        KCl

                  2         :          2

                0.22      :        0.22

Mass  of KCl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.22 mol × 74.55 g/mol

Mass = 16.4 g
