What is nuclear fission

Chemistry
2 answers:
swat323 years ago
5 0
Nuclear fission is the process of which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy and neutron. In simpler words, nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus is split into two smaller fragments or pieces (nuclei) and so energy and neutrons are released. The resulting pieces of this fission process have less combined mass than the original piece (nucleus) and the missing was is converted into nuclear energy.

Pickle is not stored in the metal vessel for long time.why?​
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Ummm a pickle is stored in glass container usually in the fridge

Explanation:

so the pickles dont go bad they go in the fridge so they dont mold. if you were to put them in a metal container they would get very cold when you put them in the fridge.

As the temperature of a gas increases, the pressure *
never [62]
The temperature of the gas is proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules. Faster moving particles will collide with the container walls more frequently and with greater force. This causes the force on the walls of the container to increase and so the pressure increases.

A 100 g sample of potassium chlorate, KCIO3(s), is completely decomposed by heating:
Mama L [17]
Explanation:
In order to be able to calculate the volume of oxygen gas produced by this reaction, you need to know the conditions for pressure and temperature.
Since no mention of those conditions was made, I'll assume that the reaction takes place at STP, Standard Temperature and Pressure.
STP conditions are defined as a pressure of
100 kPa
and a temperature of
0
∘
C
. Under these conditions for pressure and temperature, one mole of any ideal gas occupies
22.7 L
- this is known as the molar volume of a gas at STP.
So, in order to find the volume of oxygen gas at STP, you need to know how many moles of oxygen are produced by this reaction.
The balanced chemical equation for this decomposition reaction looks like this

Notice that you have a
2
:
3
mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen gas.
This tells you that the reaction will always produce
3
2
times more moles of oxygen gas than the number of moles of potassium chlorate that underwent decomposition.
Use potassium chlorate's molar mass to determine how many moles you have in that
231-g
sample

⋅
1 mole KClO

122.55

=

Use the aforementioned mole ratio to determine how many moles of oxygen would be produced from this many moles of potassium chlorate
1.885
moles KClO
