Chemistry

Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion produces more energy with less radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission process.

  • In nuclear fission, a radioactive decay occurs in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into two lighter nuclei and several neutrons with the release of energy.
  • Nuclear fusion occurs when small atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.
  • Instability of a nuclide is enough to start up a nuclear fission reaction. In some instances, a heavy nuclide is bombarded with another nuclide.
  • In nuclear fusion, the activation energy required to start up is very great.

Nuclear wastes emanating from nuclear fusion process is least compared to that of nuclear fission.

Nuclear fusion produces more energy  compared to nuclear fission process.

What principle requires that a chemical equation be balanced?
Dafna1 [17]
The principle that requires that a chemical equation be balanced would be the law of definite proportions. It <span>states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation. Hope this answers the question.</span>

What is the mole fraction of water in pure water
irinina [24]
In pure water, all of the molecules in the liquid are water molecules so the mole fraction is 1 (100 % H2O, 55 mol/L). In sea water, the concentration of water molecules in the solution is less than that of pure water so the vapor pressure of sea water is also lower.

Commercial concentrated aqueous ammonia is 28% nh3 by mass and has a density of 0.90 g/ml. what is the concentration of ammonia
patriot [66]

Answer:- 14.9 M

Solution:- Given commercial sample of ammonia is 28% by mass. Let's say we have 100 grams of the sample. Then mass of ammonia would be 28 grams.

Density of the solution is given as 0.90 grams per mL.

From the mass and density we could calculate the volume of the solution as:

100g(\frac{1mL}{0.90g})

= 111 mL

Let's convert the volume from mL to L as molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution.

111mL(\frac{1L}{1000mL})  

= 0.111 L

Now, we convert grams of ammonia to moles on dividing the grams by molar mass. Molar mass of ammonia is 17 gram per mole.

28g(\frac{1mole}{17g})

= 1.65 mole

To calculate the molarity we divide the moles of ammonia by the liters of solution:

molarity=\frac{1.65mole}{0.111L}

= 14.9 M

So, the molarity of the given commercial sample of ammonia is 14.9 M.
