1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>

The electronegativity values of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen are compared in the table.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

C. CH₄ is less than NH₃ because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces between ammonia is far stronger than for methane. Between the molecules of ammonia we have the presence of hydrogen bonds. This bond is absent in methane.

Hydrogen bonds are one of the strongest intermolecular forces. It is as a result of the electrostatic attraction between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom N, O and F of another molecule.

  • This strong interaction is absent in methane which has just dipole - dipole attraction.

The strength of the hydrogen bond depends on the electronegativity of the combining atoms.

Magnesium hydroxide, the active ingredient in milk of magnesia, neutralizes stomach acid, primarily hcl, according to the reacti
Tema [17]
For every 1 molecule of Magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 there will be 2 molecules of HCl neutralized.
If molar mass of magnesium hydroxide is 58.3197g/mol, the amount of mol in 5.50 g magnesium hydroxide should be: 5.50g/ (<span>58.3197g/mol)= 0.0943mol.
Then, the amount of HCl molecule neutralized would be: 2* </span>0.0943mol= 0.18861 mol

If molar mass of HCl is 36.46094 g/mol, the mass of the molecule would be: 0.18861 mol* 36.46094g/mol = 6.88grams

A chemistry student adds a quantity of an unknown solid compound X to 5.00 L of distilled water at 15.° C . After 10 minutes of
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

34 g/100 mL

Explanation:

The solubility of a compound can be expressed in g/100mL, for this we must divide the mass of the compound that dissolves in the solute by the volume of the solvent.

The solvent, in this case, is water, and that mass of the solute X that dissolved is the mass that was recovered after the solvent was drained and evaporated. So the solubility of X (S) is:

S = 0.17 kg/5L

S = 170g/5000mL

S = 170g/(5*1000)mL

S = 34 g/100 mL
