Nuclear fusion in the sun involves hydrogen (H) atoms combining to form helium (He). A student claims that since the atmosphere

contains hydrogen, any fusion reaction on Earth would result in an uncontrolled chain reaction. What is wrong with the student's reasoning?
The hydrogen in air is not densely packed enough for an uncontrolled chain reaction.
Uncontrolled chain reactions can only happen during nuclear fission.
It is impossible to cause a fusion reaction to happen anywhere outside of the sun.
We are safe because there is no radioactive hydrogen in the air.

The osmolarity of a 1-l bottle of 5% dextrose solution is _____ mosm/l.
Pachacha [2.7K]
M(dextrose) = 50 g.
V(solution) = 1 L.
n(dextrose) = 50 g ÷ 180 g/mol.
n(dextrose) = 0,27 mol.
Osmotic concentration (osmolarity)<span> is a measure of how many </span><span>osmoles of particles of solute</span><span> it contains </span>per liter.
The osmolarity = n(dextrose) ÷ V(solution).
The osmolarity = 0,27 mol ÷ 1 L.
The osmolarity = 0,27 mol/L · 1000 mmol/m.
The osmolarity (dextrose) = 270 mosm/L.
The osmolarity (dextrose monohydrate) = 50 g÷197 g/mol·1000 =254mosm/L

Calculate each of the following:<br> (a) Mass fraction of Cl in calcium chlorate
Marianna [84]

Mass fraction has been the mass of an individual element with respect to the compound. The mass fraction of chloride in calcium chlorate is 0.171.

<h3>What is meant by a mass fraction?</h3>

Mass fraction has been defined as the ratio of the masses of the individual elements present in a compound to the total mass of the molecule or compound.

The formula for a mass fraction (w) is given as,

Mass fraction (w) = mass ÷ total mass

Given,

Mass of chlorine = 35.453 grams per mole

The molar mass of calcium chlorate (Ca(ClO₃)₂) = 206.98 grams per mole

Substituting and solving the values above as

w = mass of chlorine ÷ total mass of calcium chlorate

w = 35.453 ÷ 206.98

w = 0.171

Therefore, the mass fraction of Cl in calcium chlorate is 0.171.
