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.

Elanso [62]
Data:
mass = 67 Kg → 147.71 pounds

Solving:

\frac{3}{100}*147.71 =  \frac{443.13}{100} \approx \boxed{4.43\:pounds\:of\:body\:fat}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

In order to reduce the exposure to organic solvents like turpentine, some art instructors recommend the students clean brushes a
kykrilka [37]
Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.

To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.
