Which letter on the graph above represents fusion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zvonat [6]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The figure here is missing, so we cannot say what is the corresponding letter; however we can describe what nuclear fusion is.

Nuclear fusion is a nuclear process in which light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus. In the reaction, the total mass of the initial nuclei is less than the total mass of the final nucleus, so part of the mass has been converted into energy, according to the equation:

\Delta E=c^2 \Delta m

where

\Delta E is the energy released

c is the speed of light

\Delta m is the mass defect, which is the mass difference between reactants and products.

Since the factor c^2 is very large, we can see that the amount of energy released by a process of nuclear fusion is huge.

An example of nuclear fusion is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into  helium. This process occurs in the core of the stars, and it is the main process through which stars produce energy. In order to occur, the temperature inside the core must be at the order of several million degrees, because the nuclei must overcome the electrostatic repulsion between them, so that they can come close enough to fuse together: for this reason, nuclear fusion is difficult to achieve on Earth, since it is very challenging to recreate the same conditions of temperature and pressure that we have in the core of the stars.

A) Calculate the osmotic pressure difference between seawater and fresh water. For simplicity, assume thatall the dissolved salt
never [62]

Answer:

a)  Δπ = 1.264 atm

b) W = 128 joules

c)  ΔH >> W  ( a factor greater than 17,000 )

Explanation:

a) The osmotic pressure, π , is determined by :

π = nRT/V, where n= moles of solute

                          R= 0.0821 Latm/kmol

                          T = 300 K

calling π(sw) osmotic pressure for  for sea water and π (fw) for fresh water,

salinity of sea water = 3.5 g / 1L water   (assuming only NaCl for the salts)

salinity of fresh water = 0.5 parts per thousand (range: 0- 0.5 ppt)

πsw = (3.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 1.475 atm

πfw = (0.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 0.211 atm

d water = 1 g/cm³

Δ π = (1.475 - 0.211) = 1.264 atm

b) W = Δπ V = 1.426 atm x 1L = 1.43 L-atm

1 L-atm = 101.33 j

W =  101.33 j/ Latm x  1.43 Latm = 128 joules

c) ΔH = Q₁ + nΔH vap, where

            Q₁  = heat required to bring the solution from 300 K to boiling, 373 K

            ΔH vap = heat of vaporization

Q = mCΔT = 1000 g x 4.186 j x 73 K = 305.6 j = 0.3056 kj

ΔH vap = (1000 g/ 18 g/mol ) 40.7 kj/mol = 2,261 kj

ΔH =  0.3056 kj + 2,261 kj = 2,261.3 kj

Note = Q << ΔH vap and we could have neglected it.

This result shows why nobody talks about evaporation of sea water to produce fresh water ΔH >> W

Elena L [17]
The correct answer is D. A solid has a high to very high melting point, great hardness , and poor electrical conduction, this is a covalent network solid. This is because of the large amount of energy required to break these bonds, the said properties are exhibited by these solids.
