Answer:

They are both nuclear reactions that produce energy.

Fission is the splitting of heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei.
Fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together (this process releases a vast amount of energy)

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy

With what compound will nh3 experience only dispersion intermolecular forces? with what compound will nh3 experience only disper

Burka [1]

Answer is: ammonia experience only dispersion intermolecular forces with BF₃ (boron trifluoride) because BF₃ is only nonpolar molecule (vectors of dipole moments cansel each other, dipole moment is zero).
The London dispersion force (intermolecular force) is a temporary attractive force between molecules.

A slurry of flakes soybeans weighing a total of 100 kg contains 75 kg of inert solids and 25 kg of solution with 10 wt% oil and

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

the amounts and compositions of the overflow V1 and underflow L1 leaving the stage are 75kg and 125kg respectively.

Explanation:

Let state the given parameters;

Let A= solvent (hexane)

B= solid(inert soiid)

C= solvent(oil)

$F_{solution}$ = mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

Feed Phase:

Total feed (i.e slurry of flakes soybeans)= 100kg

B= mass of solid =75 kg

F= mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

= 25kg

Mass ratio of oil to solution $Y_{F}$ = $\frac{Mass C}{Mass (A+C)}$

mass of oil (C) =25 × 0.1 wt = 2.5kg

mass of hexane in feed = 25 × 0.9 =22.5kg + 2.5 =25kg

therefore $Y_{F}$ = $\frac{2.5}{25}$

= 0.1

mass ratio of solid to solution $Y_{A}$ = $\frac{Mass A}{Mass (A+C)}=[tex]\frac{75}{25}$

Solvent Phase:

C= Mass of oil= 0(kg)

A= Mass of hexane = 100kg

mass of solutions = A+C = 0+100kg

solvent= 100kg

Underflow:

underflow = L₁ = (unknown) ???

L₁ = E₁ + B

the value of N for the outlet and underflow is 1.5 kg

i.e N₁ = $\frac{mass B}{mass(A+C)}$

solution in underflow E₁ = Mass (A+C)

Overflow:

Overflow = V₁ = (unknown) ???

solution in overflow V₁ = Mass (A+C)

This is because, B = 0 in overflow

Solid Balance: (since the solid is inert, then is said to be same in feed & underflow).

solid in feed = solid in underflow = 75

75= E₁ × N₁

75 = E₁ × 1.5

E₁ = 50kg

Underflow L₁ = E₁ × B

= 50 + 75

=125kg

The Overall Balance: Feed + Solvent = underflow + overflow

100 + 100 = 125 + V₁

V₁ = 75kg

How do you convert kilograms to pounds?

Maru [420]

Answer: (1 Kilogram = 2.20462 pounds) . There are 2.2046226218 lb in 1 kilogram. To convert kilograms to pounds, multiply your figure by 2.205 for an approximate result. 1 kilogram is also equal to 2 lb and 3.27396195 oz. Working out a rough estimate in your head for converting to pounds and ounces may be tricky - remember that there are 16 ounces in a pound.
