Answer: The correct answer is Option d.

Explanation:

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.

Why is density referred to as a characteristic property of matter?

amm1812

Answer : Density of any particular matter remains the same at any concentration at any weight.

Density does not varies with the concentration. The formula for density is mass / volume.

So if the mass changes the density will change accordingly, also if the volume changes the density will get changed.

because, of the above reasons density is referred as a characteristic property of matter.

What amount of sucrose (C12H22O11) should be added to 5.83 mol water to lower the vapor pressure of water at 50 °C to 72.0 torr?

Triss [41]

Answer:

The amount of sucrose that must be added is 1.66 moles

Explanation:

Colligative property of lowering vapor pressure has this formula:

Vapor pressure of pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure of solution = P° . Xm

We have both vapor pressure (pure solvent and solution9, so let's determine the ΔP

ΔP = 92.6 Torr - 72 Torr = 20.6 Torr

Let's add the data in the formula

20.6 Torr = 92.6 Torr . Xm

Xm = Mole fraction of solute → (mol of solute/ mol of solute + mol of solvent)

Mol of solvent = 5.83 mol (data from the problem)

Therefore Xm = 20.6 Torr / 92.6 Torr → 0.222

Let's find out the moles of solute (our unknown value)

0.22 = moles of solute / moles of solute + 5.83 moles of solvent

0.222 (moles of solute + 5.83 moles of solvent) = moles of solute

0.222 moles of solute + 1.29 moles of solvent = moles of solute

1.29 moles of solvent = moles of solute - 0.222 moles of solute

1.29 moles = 0.778 moles of solute

1.29 / 0.778 = moles of solute → 1.66 moles
