Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Nuclear chain reactions occur in fission reactions only. Nuclear fission reactions are defined as the reactions in which larger nuclide splits into two or more smaller daughter nuclides.

For example, ^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{90}_{36}Kr + ^{144}_{56}Ba + 3^{1}_{0}n

These neutrons released will again bombard with the uranium atom leading to another fission reaction and this chain continues. And, if this chain gets disturbed by any external source then reaction becomes out of control as very high amount of energy releases in nuclear reactions.

Hence, in nuclear chain reactions the neutrons which are released in the previous fission reaction act as the starting material in the next reaction. Thus, this process continues to many reactions and hence, is known as nuclear chain reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that fission reactions can get out of control without chain reaction taking place.

Arrange the following chloroarenes in increasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic substitution to form their correspond
pantera1 [17]
The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
..............................................................................................................................

Correct Answer: Option C i.e. I ~ III < IV < V < II

Reason:
During a nucleophilic subsitution reaction of chloroarenes, Cl- group is replaced by an nucleophile like OH-.

Order of reactivity, during such reactions depends on the electron density on carbon atom that is attached to Cl. Lower the electron density, greater will be the reactivity.

Among the provided chloroarenes, electron density on C atom will be minimum in case of compound II, because of presence of electron withdrawing group (-NO2) at ortho and para position. Due to this, there will be large number of resonating structures. This signifies greater electron de-localization, and hence largest reactivity for nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Followed by this, compound V will show greater reactivity, due to presence of -NO2 group at para and one of the ortho position. Compound IV will have less number of resonating structures as compared to compound II and V, hence it will display poor reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Finally, compound 1 and III will minimum reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution reaction, because -NO2 group present at meta position (compound III) will not participate in resonance.

Choose a generic equation showing how a weak base ionizes water.
FinnZ [79.3K]
Hi!

The generic equation showing how a weak base ionizes water is the following:

B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

A base is described as weak when its dissociation is difficult and isn't complete. Weak Bases are chemical compounds that accept protons from water, to form the conjugate acid and the OH⁻ ion. The pH of the solution of a weak base is higher than 7. Some weak bases include ammonia (NH₃), Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) and Sodium Acetate (CH₃COONa).

Have a nice day!
