Good morning!

It requires extremely high temperatures to begin the reaction.


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.

eimsori [14]

An isotope is the vary of neutrons in an element, causing its atomic mass to change. While an ion is a charged atom that bonds to be stable.

Which of these equations is balanced?

aev [14]

B is the answer. For an equation to be balanced there must be the same amount of each element on the two sides. The only one where this is the case is B.

What volume of carbon dioxide gas can be collected from

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1.22 L of carbon dioxide gas

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

CaCO₃ + HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

First we determine which reactant is limiting:

Calcium carbonate ⇒ 10.0 g CaCO₃ ÷ 100 g/mol = 0.10 mol CaCO₃

Hydrochloric acid ⇒ 0.100 L * 0.50 M = 0.05 mol HCl

So HCl is the limiting reactant.

Now we calculate the moles of CO₂ produced:

0.05 mol HCl * $\frac{1molCO_{2}}{1molHCl}$ = 0.05 mol CO₂

Finally we use PV=nRT to calculate the volume:

P = 1 atm

n = 0.05 mol

T = 25 °C ⇒ 25 + 273.16 = 298.16 K

1 atm * V = 0.05 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 K

V = 1.22 L
