Why is fusion preferred over fission?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Fusion is the binding together of two smaller atoms into a larger atom. Both are examples of nuclear chemistry and both produce large amounts of energy. There are two main advantages of fusion over fission. ... The other main advantage is that fusion does not produce radioactive, toxic waste products like fission does.

What is the density of an object with a mass of 1.663 g and a volume of 0.2009 mL

daser333 [38]

<span>8.278 g/mL The definition of density is mass per volume. So what you need to do is divide the known mass by the known volume. So 1.663 g / 0.2009 mL = 8.27775 g/mL But you also have to keep track of significant figures. Since both 1.663 and 0.2009 have 4 significant figures each, you need to round the result to 4 significant figures. So 8.27775 g/mL = 8.278 g/mL</span>

How is heat produced in a chemical change

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:Hola UwU

Most chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. It takes energy to break a chemical bond but energy is released when chemical bonds are formed. If more energy is released than consumed, then the chemical reaction evolves heat and is said to be exothermic.

When the equation Sn + HNO₃ → SnO₂ + NO₂ + H₂O is balanced in acidic solution, what is the smallest whole-number coefficient for

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

$Sn^0 + H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 + N^{4+}O^{2-}_2 + H^+_2O^-$

Whereas the half reactions are:

$Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O$

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

$1\times(Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-)\\\\4\times (H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O)\\\\\\Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +4e^-\rightarrow 4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

Afterwards, we add them to obtain:

$Sn^0+2H_2O+4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

By adding and subtracting common terms we obtain:

$Sn^0+4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+2H_2O$

Finally, by removing the oxidation states we have:

$Sn + 4HNO_3 \rightarrow SnO_2 + 4NO_2 + 2H_2O$

Therefore, the smallest whole-number coefficient for Sn is 1.

Regards.
