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).

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

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are two types of nuclear decay reactions:

  • <u>Nuclear fission reactions:</u> 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.
  • <u>Nuclear fusion reactions:</u> 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.

N2(g) + 3H2(g) + 2NH3 (9)<br> What will happen if pressure is increased?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

equilibrium will shift to the right, and more NH3 will be formed

Explanation:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) --->  2NH3(g)

1 mol +3 mol             2 mol

       4 mol                2 mol

When we increase the pressure, the pressure will try to restore old value, so it has to become lower. Pressure is lower when number of particles is less

4 <2, so equilibrium will shift to the right, and more NH3 will be formed.

A 55.0 gallon drum weighs 75.0 lb when empty. What will be the total mass when filled with ethyl alcohol? ( Density = 0.789 g/mL
daser333 [38]

Answer:

mass drum (filled) = 198.083 Kg ( 436.306 Lb )

Explanation:

⇒ mass drum = 75.0 Lb * ( 454 g / Lb) = 34050 g ( 34.05 Kg )

⇒ volume drum = 55.0 gal * ( 3.78 L/gal ) = 207.9 L

⇒ density CH3CH2OH = 0.789 Kg/L

⇒ mass drum (filled) = 34.050 Kg + ( 207.9 L * 0.789 Kg/L )

⇒ mass drum (filled) = 34.050 Kg + 164.03 Kg

⇒ mass drum (filled) = 198.0831 Kg
