Answer:

speed up the reaction.

slow down the reaction.

Explanation:

Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control the fission rate of reactions. Their compositions includes certain elements such as boron, cadmium, silver, or indium, which are capable of absorbing many neutrons without themselves fissioning.

Control rods may be inserted into a nuclear reactor core to reduce the reaction rate or withdrawn to increase it depending on the desired rate of reaction.

A 254.5 g sample of a white solid is known to be a mixture of KNO3, BaCl2, and NaCl. When 116.5 g of this mixture is dissolved i
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Mass of KNO3 in the original mix is 146.954 g

Explanation:

mass of KNO_3 in original  254.5 mixture.

moles of BaSO_4 = \frac{mass}{Molecular\ Weight}

moles ofBaSO_4  = \frac{68.3}{233.38}

                               = 0.2926 mol of BaSO4

Therefore,

0.2926 mol of BaCl2,

mass of BaCl_2 = mol\times molecular weight

                         = 0.2926\times 208.23

                         = 60.92 g

the AgCl moles = \frac{mass}{Molecular\ Weight}

                          = \frac{199.1}{143.32}

                          = 1.3891 mol of AgCl

note that, the Cl- derive from both, BACl_2 and NaCl

so

mole of Cl- f NaCl = (1.3891) - (0.2926\times 2) = 0.8039 mol of Cl-

mol of NaCl = 0.8039 moles

mass = mol\times Molecular\ Weight  = 0.8039 \times 58 = 46.626\ g \ of \ NaCl

then

KNO3 mass = 254.5 - 60.92-46.626 = 146.954 g of KNO_3

Mass of KNO3 in the original mix is 146.954 g

What minimum energy is required to excite a vibration in HF?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The energy of a vibrating molecule is quantized much like the energy of an electron in the hydrogen atom. The energy levels of a vibrating molecule are given by the equation: En=(n+21)hv where n is a quantum number with possible values of 1, 2, ... and v is the frequency of vibration.

Explanation:

hope it helps.

have a wonderful day!

If 3 moles of H2 react with two moles of o2 what is limiting reactant
Dominik [7]

H₂ is the limiting reactant.

<u>Explanation:</u>

H₂  reacts with O₂

The reaction would be

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of H₂ reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to form 2 moles of H₂O.

The ratio of usage of H₂ and O₂ is 2 : 1 respectively

If 3 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂ are present then:

3 moles of H₂ would require 1.5 moles of O₂                 ( 2 : 1 of H₂ and O₂ )

Out of 2 moles of O₂, 1.5 moles would be used and 0.5 mole would be in excess.

Therefore, H₂ is the limiting reactant as the number of moles of H₂ are not enough to use all the O₂.
