I would say C but don't hold it against me
The person above me is correct
The answer is 1.6 atm. Let's first calculate the mole fraction of gas Y.
The mole fraction (x) is: x = n1/n, where n1 is a number of moles of an
individual gas in a mixture and n is total moles of the gas mixture. We
know that n1 of gas Y is 6.0 mol (n1 = 6.0 mol) and that there are in
total 8. mol of the gas mixture (n = 2.0 + 6.0 = 8.0 mol). Now calculate
the mole fraction of gas Y. x = 6.0/8.0 = 0.75. Now, let's use the mole
fraction of gas Y (x) and the total pressure (P) to calculate the
partial pressure of gas Y (P1): x = P1/P. P1 = x * P. If x = 0.75 and P =
2.1 atm, then the partial pressure of gas Y is: P1 = 0.75 * 2.1 atm =
1.6 atm.
Answer: C) the splitting of a nucleus released a large burst of energy
Explanation:
nuclear fission occurs when an isotope (usually unstable) is hit with particles such as neutrons and splits, resulting in an extreme burst of energy.
for instance, the atomic bombs developed by the U.S. during WWII were products of nuclear fission in which plutonium-239 and uranium-235 were struck by a neutron that hit either nucleus of either isotope. The result was the neclus split into fragments that released huge amounts of energy snd the fission process became self-sustaining as neutrons produced by the splitting nucleus hit other nuclei and produce more fission, causing a chain reaction.
