Answer is: C. nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay where nucleus of atom split into smaller ligher nuclei.

Nuclear fission is exothermic reaction which release large amounts of energy (electromagnetic radiation or as kinetic energy, which heat reactors where fission reaction take place).

Answer: The process of splitting of an atom into two lighter atoms is called is called nuclear fission.

Explanation:

There are two types of nuclear decay reactions:

Nuclear fission reactions: They are defined as the reaction in which, the heavier atoms splits into two or more lighter atoms. The number of atoms formed in this reaction increases from the given atoms.
Nuclear fusion reactions: They are defined as the reaction in which, two or more lighter atoms combine to form a heavier atom. The number of atoms formed in this reaction decreases from the given atoms.

Hence, the process of splitting of an atom into two lighter atoms is called is called nuclear fission.

What volume of lead (of density 11.3 g/cm3 ) has the same mass as 395 cm3 of a piece of redwood (of density 0.38 g/cm3 )? Answer

Zepler [3.9K]

$d_{1}=\frac{m}{V_{1}}\\\\
V_{1}=395cm^{3}\\
d_{1}=0,38\frac{g}{cm^{3}} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ m=395cm^{3}*0,38\frac{g}{cm^{3}}=150,1g\\\\\\
d_{2}=\frac{m}{V_{2}}\\\\
m=150,1g\\
d_{2}=11,3\frac{g}{cm^{3}} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ V_{2}=\frac{150,1g}{11,3\frac{g}{cm^{3}}}\approx13,28cm^{3}$

A solution is made by dissolving 0.0150 mol of HF in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. At 26 °C, the osmotic pressure of

Alex777 [14]

Given:
M = 0.0150 mol/L HF solution
T = 26°C = 299.15 K
π = 0.449 atm

Required:
percent ionization

Solution:
First, we get the van't Hoff factor using this equation:
π = i MRT
0.449 atm = i (0.0150 mol/L) (0.08206 L atm / mol K) (299.15 K)
i = 1.219367

Next, calculate the concentration of the ions and the acid.
We let x = [H+] = [F-]
[HF] = 0.0150 - x

Adding all the concentration and equating to iM
x +x + 0.0150 - x = 1.219367 (0.0150)
x = 3.2905 x 10^-3

percent dissociation = (x/M) (100) = (3.2905 x 10-3/0.0150) (100) = 21.94%

Also,
percent dissociation = (i -1) (100) = (1.219367 * 1) (100) = 21.94%

The substance doesn't have a specific name. We just say that that substance is being reduced. Remember this mnemonic - OILRIG where "Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain" of electrons.
