<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which 1 heavier nuclei splits into two or more smaller nuclei.

As, nuclear fission reactors require a large amount of energy to split the nucleus, hence it is bombarded with a particle in order to star the reaction.

In a nuclear reaction, a large fissile atomic nucleus like Uranium-235 $(_{92}^{235}\textrm{U})$ or Plutonium-239 $(_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu})$ when absorbs a neutron, it undergoes nuclear fission reaction.

Hence, in the given options, uranium-235 is absorbing a neutron. Therefore, the correct answer is Option d.

The chemical equation, Cr + Fe(NO3)2 → Fe + Cr(NO3)3, is an example of which type of reaction?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Redox type

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Cr + 3Fe(NO₃)₂ → 2Fe + 2Cr(NO₃)₃

2 moles of chromium can react to 3 moles of iron (II) nitrate in order to produce 2 moles of iron and 2 moles of chromium nitrate.

If we see oxidation state, we see that chromium changes from 0 to +3

Iron changed the oxidation state from +2 to 0

Remember that elements at ground state has 0, as oxidation state.

Iron is being reduced while chromium is oxidized. Then, the half reactions are:

Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ Fe (Reduction)

Cr ⇄ Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ (Oxidation)

When an element is being reduced, while another is being oxidized, we are in prescence of a redox reaction.

How many molecules is 0.360 mole of water?

Nikitich [7]

Answer: 2.17 x 10^23 molecules

Explanation:

1mole of H2O contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

Therefore 0.360mole of H2O will contain = 0.36 x 6.02x10^23 = 2.17 x 10^23 molecules

2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)=4CO2(g)+2H2O(g)

balandron [24]

The volume of ethyne, C₂H₂ required to produce 12 moles of CO₂ assuming the reaction is at STP is 134.4 L

<h3>Balanced equation</h3>

2C₂H₂(g) + 5O₂(g) --> 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the mole of C₂H₂ needed to produce 12 moles of CO₂</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

Therefore,

12 moles of CO₂ will be produce by = (12 × 2) / 4 = 6 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the volume (in L) of C₂H₂ needed at STP</h3>

At standard temperature and pressure (STP),

1 mole of C₂H₂ = 22.4 L

Therefore,

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 6 × 22.4

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 134.4 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of C₂H₂ needed for the reaction at STP is 134.4 L

A buffer consists of 0.45 M CH3COOH (acetic acid) and 0.35 M CH3COONa. The Ka of acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5 . a) Calculate the pH

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A) pH of Buffer solution = 4.59

B) pH after 5.0 ml of 2.0 M NaOH have been added to 400 ml of the original buffer solution = 4.65

Explanation:

This is the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:

$pH = pKa + log\frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}$

to calculate the pH of the following Buffer solutions.
