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

What is the concentration of h+ ions in a solution of hydrochloric acid that was prepared by diluting 35.0 ml of concentrated (1
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Hydrochloric acid ionisation is as follows;
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
HCl is a strong base so there's complete dissociation of acid to H⁺ ions
The number of HCl moles is equivalent to number of H⁺ ions present
1 L of solution contains - 11.6 moles of H⁺ ions
In 35 ml number of moles - 11.6 mol/L / 1000 ml x 35 ml = 0.406 mol
This number of moles are dissolved in 500 ml 
therefore molarity = 0.406 mol /500 ml x 1000 ml = 0.812 M
