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.

Answer:

The mass of potassium required to produce a known mass of potassium chloride

Explanation:

Stoichiometry deals with the relationship between amount of substances, mass of substances or volume of substances required in a chemical reaction. Stoichiometric relationships may involve reactants alone or reactants and products. These relationships are normally in the form of simple proportion.

A typical example is our answer option, the mass of potassium required could be used to determine the mass of potassium chloride produced after a balanced reaction equation is written.

Answer:

1.Ecologists often estimate the size and density of. populations using quadrats and the mark-recapture method.

2. The two key components of ecosystem stability are resilience and resistance.

3.The availability of abiotic factors (such as water, oxygen, and space) and biotic factors (such as food) affect population

4. When the climate is changing in the colder direction it effects the planet in the opposite way than it does when it is changing in the warmer direction. Ad nauseam the contemporary, it’ll keep getting hotter and at a greater rate so the ecosystem is going to die.

Calculate ΔH for the reaction: C(graphite) + 2H 2(g) + 1/2 O 2(g) =&gt; CH 3OH(l) Using the following information: C(graphite) +
Alika [10]

Answer:

\Delta H for the given reaction is -238.7 kJ

Explanation:

The given reaction can be written as summation of three elementary steps such as:

C(graphite)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) \Delta H_{1}= -393.5 kJ

2H_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 2H_{2}O(l) \Delta H_{2}= (2\times -285.8)kJ

CO_{2}(g)+2H_{2}O(l)\rightarrow CH_{3}OH(l)+\frac{3}{2}O_{2}(g)  \Delta H_{3}= 726.4 kJ

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C(graphite)+2H_{2}(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CH_{3}OH(l)

\Delta H=\Delta H_{1}+\Delta H_{2}+\Delta H_{3}=-238.7 kJ
