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.

A student performed a chemical reaction in which 35 grams of hydrogen and 65 grams of oxygen reacted to form water. What is the

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The mass of the product is 73,06 g

Explanation:

The reaction to form water is:

2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O

35 g 65 g

Molar mass H2 = 2g/m ---> I have 17,5 moles (35g / 2 g/m)

Molar mass O2 = 32g/m ---> I have 2,03 moles (65g / 32g/m)

2 moles of H2 __reacts with __ 1 mol O2

17,5 moles of H2 __ reacts with ___ (17,5 m . 1 m) / 2 m = 8,75 m

I have just 2,03 m of O2 and I need 8,75 m so O2 is my limiting reagent

1 mol of O2 ___ reacts with 2 moles H2

2,03 moles of O2 __ reacts with (2,03 m . 2 m) / 1 m = 4,06 m

I have 17,5 moles of H2 and I need 4,06 m. H2 is my excess reagent

"All operations are done with the limiting reagent"

1 mol O2 are required____ to form 2 H2O

2,03 mol O2 are required __ to form (2,03m . 2m) / 1m = 4,06 m

Molar mass of water: 18 g/m

Mass of water ----> Molar mass . Moles water = 18 g/m . 4,06 m = 73,08g

Question 11 (1 point)

erastova [34]

Answer:

remove product

Explanation:

Removing the product will always shift the equilibrium to the right. This is based on the Le Chatelier's principle which states that "if any of the conditions of a system in equilibrium is changed, the system will adjust itself in order to annul the effect of the change".

If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, by changing the concentration of one of the substances all the concentrations will change until a new equilibrium point is reached.
Removing the product will increase the concentration of the species on the left hand side, the equilibrium will shift to the right.

Which statement best relates the strength and concentration of a base? At high enough concentrations, a weak base becomes strong

Lorico [155]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there are more number of hydroxide ions in a solution then there will be high concentration of $OH^{-}$ or hydroxide ions. As a result, more will be the strength of base in that particular solution.

A base is strong when it readily dissociate into its ions in the solution. When a base is strong, then it does not matter at what concentration it is dissolved in the solution because despite of its low concentration it will remain a strong base.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement even at low concentrations, a strong base is strong best relates the strength and concentration of a base.
