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.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The mol fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase is 0.368

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of cyclohexane = 25.0 grams

Mass of 2-methylpentane = 44.0 grams

Temperature = 35.0 °C

The pressure of cyclohexane = 150 torr

The pressure of 2-methylpentane = 313 torr

The pressure we only need for the mole fraction in gas phase.

Step 2: Calculate moles of cyclohexane

Moles cyclohexane = mass cyclohexane / molar mass

Moles cyclohexane = 25.0 g / 84 g/mol = 0.298 mol of cyclohexane

Step 3: Calculate moles of 2-methylpentane

Moles = 44.0 grams / 86 g/mol = 0.512 mol of 2-methylpentane

Step 4: Calculate mole fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase

Mole fraction of C6H12:

0.298 / (0.298 + 0.512) = 0.368

The mol fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase is 0.368
