Oxygen - nitrogen gas mixture is a colorless odorless gas. Both oxygen and nitrogen are noncombustible; however, oxygen can accelerate the burning of a fire. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket.
Answer is B.
Explanation:
A physical change is one in which there is no change in chemical composition of a substance. while a process in which there is change in chemical composition it is called a chemical change.
Q: What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0 °C? (Lf = 3.34 x 105 J/kg)
Answer:
-3670.33 J/K
Explanation:
Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.
Mathematically, change of Entropy can be expressed as,
ΔS = ΔH/T ....................................... Equation 1
Where ΔS = Change of entropy, ΔH = heat change, T = temperature.
ΔH = -(Lf×m).................................... Equation 2
Note: ΔH is negative because heat is lost.
Where Lf = latent heat of ice = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg, m = 3.0 kg, m = mass of water = 3.0 kg
Substitute into equation
ΔH = -(3.34×10⁵×3.0)
ΔH = - 1002000 J.
But T = 0 °C = (0+273) K = 273 K.
Substitute into equation 1
ΔS = -1002000/273
ΔS = -3670.33 J/K
Note: The negative value of ΔS shows that the entropy of water decreases when it is changed to ice at 0 °C
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:
1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.
2. Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.
3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will be radioactive particles produced.
Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.
