compared to the energy released per mole of reactant during chemical reactions the energy released per mole of reactant during n
Zolol [24]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Roughly a million times greater}}.

Explanation:

For example, the energy released in burning 1 mol of octane, a component of gasoline, is about 5000 kJ.

The energy released in the fission of 1 mol of uranium-235 is

about 1.5 × 10¹⁰ kJ .

The ratio is  

\dfrac{1.5 \times 10^{10} }{5000} \approx 3 \times 10^{6}\\\\\text{The energy released by nuclear reactions is } \boxed{\textbf{roughly a million times greater}}\\\text{ than that released during chemical reactions.}

Which element among these has the most negative electron affinity (i.e., has most exothermic electron affinity). A. H B. Li C. C
OleMash [197]

Answer:

D. F

Explanation:

Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.

The electron affinity values of the following elements is given;

Electron Affinity of Hydrogen is 72.8 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol

electron affinity of carbon is 153.9 kJ mol‑1

Electron Affinity of Fluorine is 328 kJ/mol

The electron affinity of neon is 0 kJ mol‑1.

When nonmetals gain electrons, the energy change is usually negative because they give off energy to form an anion (exothermic process); thus, the electron affinity will be negative.

Nonmetals have a higher electron affinity than metals, meaning they are more likely to gain electrons than atoms with a lower electron affinity.

That explains why florine seems to have the highest electron affinity value.

Why is it important to have 6 carbon dioxide entering the chloroplast?
vekshin1
If there is a number other than 6 carbon dioxide then photosynthesis would not occur. Without photosynthesis many plants would die from not making food.
