<span>Light
from the sun provides energy for life’s processes. It enables the primary
producers (photosynthetic organisms) such as phytoplankton
and plants to produce organic molecules from abiotic factors. This energy is passed up as primary and secondary
consumers consume these producers and this cycle
continues up the foods chain/web. </span>
Concrete is formed of sand. Is it incorrect to suggest that some houses are built using concrete blocks?
An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is the nuclear fission reaction given:
- ²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n
<h3>What is a nuclear reactor?</h3>
A nuclear reactor is a device which produces electrical energy as a result of the nuclear reactions that take place within it.
In a nuclear reactor, the reaction that takes place within the core is a nuclear fission chain reaction.
In a nuclear fission reaction, the nucleus of larger atoms are split into the nucleus of smaller atoms when fast moving neutrons are used to bombard the nucleus of the large atom. The fission of the nucleus of the large atom results in the formation of atoms of lighter nucleus as well as more protons which then bombard more nucleus of the large atoms resulting in a chain reaction.
The chain reaction occurring within the nuclear reactor core is controlled by the insertion of boron rods which absorbs the excess neutrons produced.
An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is given below:
²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that dissipates heat as the reaction proceeds. This would mean that in a closed system, when a reaction proceeds and is endothermic, the temperature of the solution or the system would increase so as to maintain the equilibrium with the whole system.
Answer:
They are a base and an acid, so they neutralize each other.
Explanation:
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.
They react with (neutralize) each other to form a salt (sodium chloride) and water.
NaOH + HCl ⟶ NaCl + H₂O
