Breeder reactors are used to convert the nonfissionable nuclide U-238 to a fissionable product. Neutron capture by the U-238 is

followed by two successive beta decays. What is the final fissionable product? Product

Answer:

Pu-239

Explanation:

Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an  electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:

U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 +  ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 +  ₋₁⁰β

Choose a generic equation showing how a weak base ionizes water.
FinnZ [79.3K]
Hi!

The generic equation showing how a weak base ionizes water is the following:

B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

A base is described as weak when its dissociation is difficult and isn't complete. Weak Bases are chemical compounds that accept protons from water, to form the conjugate acid and the OH⁻ ion. The pH of the solution of a weak base is higher than 7. Some weak bases include ammonia (NH₃), Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) and Sodium Acetate (CH₃COONa).

Have a nice day!

Why is the law of conservation of mass law and not a theory?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.

Explanation:

That is what I think on the subject

Which sentence describes the bond formed between two identical atoms?
Lilit [14]
The best answer is C

Since identical atoms would have the same electronegativity, thus making its electronegativity difference close to zero, if not equal to zero (O), making the bond between the two to be covalent. Thus, a chemical bond formed between two identical atoms is a covalent bond.
