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.

Paul has different spoons for cooking. He told Sue that he likes to stir hot food with a wooden spoon because it does not burn h
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Sue was not right as wood is not a heat conductor and will not allow heat to pass through the spoon thus keeping the hand safe. In a meatal spoon, heat can pass through and burn the hand as meatal is a good conductor of heat.

g a solution is made by mixing 500.0 mL of 0.037980.03798 M Na2sO4 Na2sO4 with 500.0 mL of 0.034280.03428 M NaOH NaOH . Complete
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The concentration of the sodium and arsenate ions at the end of the reaction in the final solution

[Na⁺] = 0.05512 M

[HAsO₄²⁻] = 0.00185 M

[AsO₄³⁻] = 0.01714 M

Explanation:

Complete Question

A solution is made by 500.0 mL of 0.03798 M Na₂HAsO₄ with 500.0 mL of 0.03428 M NaOH. Complete the mass balance expressions for the sodium and arsenate species in the final solution.

Na₂HAsO₄ + NaOH → Na₃AsO₄ + H₂O

From the information provided in this question, we can calculate the number of moles of each reactant at the start of the reaction and we then determine which reagent is in excess and which one is the limiting reagent (in short supply and determines the amount of products to be formed)

Concentration in mol/L = (Number of moles) ÷ (Volume in L)

Number of moles = (Concentration in mol/L) × (Number of moles)

For Na₂HAsO₄

Concentration in mol/L = 0.03798 M

Volume in L = (500/1000) = 0.50 L

Number of moles = 0.03798 × 0.5 = 0.01899 mole

For NaOH

Concentration in mol/L = 0.03428 M

Volume in L = (500/1000) = 0.50 L

Number of moles = 0.03428 × 0.5 = 0.01714 mole

Since the NaOH is in short supply, it is evident that it is the limiting reagent and Na₂HAsO₄ is in excess.

Na₂HAsO₄ + NaOH → Na₃AsO₄ + H₂O

0.01899        0.01714        0           0 (At time t=0)

(0.01899 - 0.1714) | 0 → 0.01714    0.01714 (end)

0.00185  | 0 → 0.01714    0.01714 (end)  

Hence, at the end of the reaction, the following compounds have the following number of moles

Na₂HAsO₄ = 0.00185 mole

This means Na⁺ has (2×0.00185) = 0.0037 mole at the end of the reaction and (HAsO₄)²⁻ has 0.00185 mole at the end of the reaction

NaOH = 0 mole

Na₃AsO₄ = 0.01714 moles

This means Na⁺ has (3×0.01714) = 0.05142 mole at the end of the reaction and (AsO₄)³⁻ has 0.01714 mole at the end of the reaction

H₂O = 0.01714 moles

So, at the end of the reaction

Na⁺ has 0.0037 + 0.05142 = 0.05512 mole

(HAsO₄)²⁻ has 0.00185 mole

(AsO₄)³⁻ has 0.01714 mole.

And since the Total volume of the reaction setup is now 500 mL + 500 mL = 1000 mL = 1 L

Hence, the concentration of the sodium and arsenate ions at the end of the reaction is

[Na⁺] = 0.05512 M

[HAsO₄²⁻] = 0.00185 M

[AsO₄³⁻] = 0.01714 M

Hope this Helps!!!

What amount of energy is required to change a spherical drop of water with a diameter of 1.80 mm to three smaller spherical drop
Gekata [30.6K]
This is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. 

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>

The vapor above a mixture of pentane and hexane at room temperature contains 35.5% pentane by mass. What is the mass percent com
FrozenT [24]
  • The mass percent of Pentane in solution is 16.49%
  • The mass percent of Hexane in solution is 83.51%

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Take 1 kg basis for the vapor: 35.5 mass% pentane = 355 g pentane with 645 g hexane.
  • Convert these values to mol% using their molecular weights:

Pentane: Mp = 72.15 g/mol -> 355g/72.15 g/mol = 4.92mol

Hexane: Mh = 86.18 g/mol -> 645g/86.18 g/mol = 7.48mol

Pentane mol%: yp = 4.92/(4.92+7.48) = 39.68%

Hexane mol%: yh = 100 - 39.68 = 60.32%

Pp-vap = 425 torr = 0.555atm

Ph-vap = 151 torr = 0.199atm

  • From Raoult's law we know:  

Pp = xp \times Pp - vap = yp \times Pt                                       (1)

Ph = xh \times Ph - vap = yh \times Pt                                       (2)

  • Since it is a binary mixture we can write xh = (1 - xp) and yh = (1 - yp), therefore (2) becomes:

(1 - xp) \times Ph - vap = (1 - yp) \times Pt                                   (3)

  • Substituting (1) into (3) we get:

(1-xp) \times Ph - vap = (1 - yp) \times xp \times Pp - vap / yp            (4)

  • Rearrange for xp:

xp = Ph - vap / (Pp - vap/yp - Pp - vap + Ph - vap)      (5)

  • Subbing in the values we find:

Pentane mol% in solution: xp = 19.08%  

Hexane mol% in solution: xh = 80.92%

  • Now for converting these mol% to mass%, take 1 mol basis for the solution and multiplying it by molar mass:

mp = 0.1908 mol \times 72.15 g/mol

     = 13.766 g

mh = 0.8092 mol \times 86.18 g/mol

     = 69.737 g

  • Mass% of Pentane solution = 13.766/(13.766+69.737)

                                                       = 16.49%

  • Mass% of Hexane solution  = 83.51%
