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.

in the chemical equation HCI+CaCO3 which element cannot be apart of the products a carbon b chlorine c nitrogen d oxygen​
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Nitrogen

Explanation:

The element nitrogen cannot be a product in the given reaction.

  The reaction is;

    HCl  + CaCO₃

According to the law of conservation of matter, "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the cause of a chemical reaction".

The law suggests that, in a chemical reaction, we end up with the same species we started with. Although due to rearrangement of bonds,  new compounds can form;

 

Starting atoms

     H

     Cl

     Ca

      O

These species will also be found in the product.

What are the reasons for unequal distribution of natural resources?
BARSIC [14]

Explanation:

There are so many reasons why natural resources are unevenly distributed in nature.

The major control on distribution of resource is basically the geologic setting of place.

Here are some of reasons:

  • Geological setting of place: most natural mineral resources are formed in areas where the best interaction between the ore forming processes and the environment occurs. No one can determine or control that.
  • Climate: the climate is the average weather condition of a place over an extended period of time. Different natural resources can be allocated to a place based on the dominant climatic condition in that place.
