The trend of ionization energy in the periodic table is decreasing from right to left and from top to bottom. In this case, we are given with elements <span>K, Ca, Ge, Se, Br, Kr and see the periodic table to check the trend. The answer from highest to lowest Kr, Br, Se, Ge, Ca, and K</span>
Answer:
0.8 mol.
Explanation:
- The balanced equation for the reaction between Al and FeO is represented as:
<em>2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃,</em>
It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of FeO to produce 3 mol of Fe and 1 mol of Al₂O₃.
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
2 mol of Al needs → 3 mol of FeO, from stichiometry.
??? mol of Al needs → 1.2 mol of FeO.
∴<em> The no. of moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of FeO </em>= (2 mol)(1.2 mol)/(3 mol) = <em>0.8 mol.</em>
Answer:The first task of a nuclear weapon design is to rapidly assemble a supercritical mass of fissile uranium or plutonium. A supercritical mass is one in which the percentage of fission-produced neutrons captured by another fissile nucleus is large enough that each fission event, on average, causes more than one additional fission event. Once the critical mass is assembled, at maximum density, a burst of neutrons is supplied to start as many chain reactions as possible. Early weapons used a modulated neutron generator codenamed "Urchin" inside the pit containing polonium-210 and beryllium separated by a thin barrier. Implosion of the pit crushed the neutron generator, mixing the two metals, thereby allowing alpha particles from the polonium to interact with beryllium to produce free neutrons. In modern weapons, the neutron generator is a high-voltage vacuum tube containing a particle accelerator which bombards a deuterium/tritium-metal hydride target with deuterium and tritium ions. The resulting small-scale fusion produces neutrons at a protected location outside the physics package, from which they penetrate the pit. This method allows better control of the timing of chain reaction initiation.
