I took the Earth Science Nuclear Energy Quiz and the correct answer is self-sustaining.

I hope this helps you!

Since we're talking about a chain reaction, I think this would be a) self-sustaining. Chain reactions are not usually described as "weak" and can be highly explosive depending upon the compounds (think Uranium!). The first (artificial) self-sustaining nuclear reaction is attributed to Enrico Fermi in 1942. Here's a bit of history: http://www.atomicarchive.com/History/firstpile/firstpile_01.shtml

Heat is added to a 200.-gram sample of H2O(s) to melt the sample at 0°C. Then the resulting H2O (image) is heated to a final tem
pochemuha
You are given 200 grams of H2O(s) at an initial temperature of 0°C. you are also given the final temperature of water after heating at 65°C. You are required to get the total amount of heat to melt the sample. The specific heat capacity, cp, of water is 4.186 J/g-°C. Let us say that T1 = 0°C and T2 = 65°C. The equation for heat, Q, is  

Q = m(cp)(T2-T1)
Q = 200g(4.186 J/g-°C )(65°C - 0°C)
<u>Q = 54,418J</u>

Which of the following is an extensive property of water?
Ber [7]
Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance. The volume of a sample is an extensive property: 1000 grams of water takes up more volume than 10 grams of water. Mass is also an extensive property.
