Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Fusion is the process of fusing two isotopes of Hydrogen namely Tritium and Deuterium to produce Helium. To achieve this, tremendous heat required (about a million degrees Celsius). The same for the pressure. To achieve this, the hydrogen is made into a plasma through rarefaction so it becomes susceptible to magnetic fields. Magnetic confinement fusion is an approach to generating thermonuclear fusion power that uses magnetic fields to confine the hot fusion fuel in the form of a plasma. Electro-Magnets surround the chamber/reactor and are pulsed adiabatically (as in a bicycle pump) and the gas becomes extremely hot that may melt the surroundings.

As the ions in the plasma are charged (the plasma is so hot all the negatively-charged electrons are stripped off the atoms, leaving them with a positive charge) they respond to magnetic fields. Extra fields help shape the plasma and hold it stable.

By making several measurements with the same balance, a chemist obtained values of 5.224 g, 5.235 g, and 5.259 g for the mass of

stepan [7]

Answer:

a) Measurements have a good precision.

Explanation:

Accuracy is the proximity of the data to the value considered as real, in this situation we do not know the real value and we do not know if the data is accurate or not, so we can discard options b and d.

Now, precision is the proximity of the data obtained among themselves and that is what we can observe, so the appropriate answer is the option a.

Compare the reactivity of magnesium and calcium explain the difference

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Calcium is more reactive than magnesium because calcium atom is larger than magnesium atom and it has one more energy level. ... Thus Ca is more reactive than Mg.

Calculate the volume of oxygen required to burn 12.00 l of ethane gas, c2h6, to produce carbon dioxide and water, if the volumes

kirza4 [7]

The volume of oxygen required to burn 12.00 L ethane is calculated as follows

find the moles of C2H6 used

At STP 1 mole is always = 22.4 L, what about 12.00 L

= ( 12.00L x 1 moles) 22.4 L = 0.536 moles

write the reacting equation

2C2H6+ 7O2 = 4CO2 + 6H2O
by use of mole ratio between C2H6 :O2 which is 2:7 the moles of O2

= 0.536 x7/2= 1.876 moles

again at STP 1mole = 22.4 L what about 1.876 moles

= 22.4 L x 1.876 moles/ 1 mole = 42.02 L
