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

0.023 M solution of perchloric acid
kogti [31]
The original question is to find the pH and the pOH of 0.023 M of perchloric acid.

Answer:
pH = 1.638
pOH = 12.362

Explanation:
1- getting the pH:
pH can be calculated using the following rule:
pH = -log[H+]
Since the given solution is an acid, this means that [H+] is the same as the concentration of the solution.
This means that:
[H+] = 0.023
Substitute in the above equation to get the pH as follows:
pH = -log[0.023]
pH = 1.638

2- getting the pOH:
We know that:
pH + pOH = 14
We have calculated that pH = 1.638.
Substitute in the above equation to get the pOH as follows:
pOH + 1.638 = 14
pOH = 14 - 1.638
pOH = 12.362

Hope this helps :)

How many grams of acetylene are produced by adding water to 5.00 g CaC2?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.03125g of acetylene

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.

1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2

In terms of mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

where the molar mass of the elements are;

Ca = 40g/mol

C = 12g/mol

H = 1g/mol

CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol

C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol

64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2

5g would produce x?

64 = 26

5 = x

Upon solving for x we have;

x = (5 * 26) / 64

x = 2.03125g

Negative radical in the periodic table​
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

A radical is a group of atoms of elements carrying a charge, e.g., chlorate [ClO3–]. Radicals or ions are formed by losing or gaining electrons. When an electron is gained the group of atoms acquire a negative charge and is called a negative radical or negative ion.

Why is peer review an Important part of the scientific process
guajiro [1.7K]
Peer review involves subjecting the author's scholarly work and research to the scrutiny of other experts in the same field to check its validity and evaluate its suitability for publication. A peer review helps the publisher decide whether a work should be accepted.
