Colin is writing a story in which a spy damages a fusion nuclear reactor, the reaction runs out of control, and the reactor expl

odes like a fusion bomb. Why is his idea for the story unlikely to be accurate? The reaction would quickly stop once the temperature and pressure dropped. The reaction would stop soon after the source of neutrons was removed. A working fusion nuclear reactor does not exist. Fission, not fusion, is used in bombs.

The phenomenon that releases uncontrolled amounts of energy very fast is fission, and that is what is used in bombs.
The last option is correct.

When the pH decreases from 6 to 3, the hydrogen ion, H+, increases by what?
Irina-Kira [14]

pH decreases as the hydrogen ion concentration increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When there is a decrease in pH, that is pH decreases from 6 to 3 then the acidity increases.

That is the pH is between 1 to 7 then it is acidic

When the pH is 7 then it is neutral

When the pH is between  7 to 14 then it is basic

As the H⁺ ion concentration increases, then the pH value decreases, here pH decreases from 6 to 3.

So the concentration of Hydrogen ion increases, pH decreases.

It takes 338. kJ/mom to break a carbon-chlorine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlori
Vesnalui [34]

Answer: The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlorine Single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 354 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light  = 338kJ=338000J    (1kJ=1000J)

N= avogadro's number

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

338\times 1000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{\lambda}    

{\lambda}=0.354\times 10^{-6}m=354nm     (1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus the maximum wavelength is 354 nm

What type of elements generally bond covalently, and how do they satisfy the octet rule?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Covalent, or, elements on the right side of the ladder (on the periodic table). Covalent compounds satisfy the octet rule by sharing electrons.

How many liters of air must react with 2500 mL of hexane in order for combustion to occur completely. The percentage of oxygen i
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

118750 ml

Explanation:

The chemical equation for complete combustion of hexane is given as;

2C6H14 + 19O2 → 12CO2 + 14H2O  

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of C6H14 reacts with 19 mol of O2

2 ml of C6H14 reacts with 19 ml of O2

2500 mL of C6H14 would react with x ml of O2

2 = 19

2500 = x

x = 2500 * 19 / 2 = 23750 ml

Since oxygen is 20% of air;

23750 = 20 / 100 * (Volume of air)

Volume of air = 23750 * 100 / 20 = 118750 ml
