5 0

Fusion and Fission both are nuclear reactions where the major difference between them is Fusion is combining process whereas fission is a breaking process.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Similarity:</u>

Both Fission and Fusion are nuclear reactions that releases vast amount of energy.

<u>Difference:</u>

  • Fission is the splitting of heavier nucleus into lighter nuclei which generates maximum amount of energy whereas fusion is the combining 2 lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus and makes a vast energy.
  • The energy generated by fission reaction in these reactors heats up the water into steam. This steam is utilized to rotate a turbine to generate carbon-free electricity.  
  • Fusion reactions are difficult to retain for longer period of time since it needs tremendous amount of temperature and pressure to combine the nuclei together.

How long will it take for a 750 mg sample of radium with a half life of 15 days to decay to exactly 68mg?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

52 da  

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a question asks you, "How long to reach a certain concentration?" or something similar, you must use the appropriate integrated rate law expression.

The i<em>ntegrated rate law for a first-order reaction </em>is  

ln([A₀]/[A] ) = kt

Data:

[A]₀ = 750 mg

 [A] =    68 mg

t_ ½ =   15 da

Step 1. Calculate the value of the rate constant.

 t_½ = ln2/k     Multiply each side by k

kt_½ = ln2         Divide each side by t_½

      k = ln2/t_½

         = ln2/15

         = 0.0462 da⁻¹

Step 2. Calculate the time

ln(750/68) = 0.0462t

         ln11.0 = 0.0462t

            2.40 = 0.0462t     Divide each side by 0.0462

                   t = 52 da

Answer:

Explanation:

  Ions which will  be definitely  absent -

Ag⁺ , Hg₂⁺ , Pb⁺², because their chlorides are insoluble in water.

Ba⁺² ,Ca⁺² because their carbonates are insoluble in water,

Ions which will be definitely present  

Cu⁺² , Pb⁺² . Hg⁺² , Sb⁺³ , Sn⁺² , because their sulphides are insoluble at pH = 8.

For the rest nothing can be said.

How many valence electrons are there in Se atom?
Lena [83]

Answer:

4 valence electrons

Despite the fact that the word silicon has a ubiquitous affiliation with all things electronic, Si itself is not a good electrical conductor. It has 4 valence electrons, meaning that filling its outer shell it can form a very strong lattice with 4 neighboring Si atoms-with no un-bonded electrons remaining
