<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct answer is option B which is neutron absorbing material.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- In nuclear reactors, uranium absorbs a neutron, broke into two nuclei and releasing 3 more neutrons and energy. These neutrons further absorbed by other uranium atoms.
- Control rods are used to control the fission reaction in nuclear reactors by absorbing neutrons.
- Hence the material used in control rods is neutron absorbing material.
Answer:
6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
Explanation:
The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.
The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:
V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³
Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)
(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL
The mass of mercury is then found:
m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
Answer:
Ca is more reactive because it has a lower
ionization energy than Mg. This is because it is lower in the periodic table. The added central electrons added over the extra period provide shielding in the center of the atom
Answer:
0.60 mol
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>Acetylene gas is often used in welding torches because of the very high heat produced when it reacts with oxygen gas, producing carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of oxygen needed to produce 1.5 mol of water.</em>
<em />
Step 1: Given data
Moles of water required: 1.5 mol
Step 2: Write the balanced equation
C₂H₂(g) + 2.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
Step 3: Calculate the moles of oxygen needed to produce 1.5 mol of water
The molar ratio of O₂ to H₂O is 2.5:1. The moles of oxygen needed to produce 1.5 mol of water are (1/2.5) × 1.5 mol = 0.60 mol
