Answer
MnO₄ + 2H⁺ +3NO₂⁻ →3NO₃⁻ + Mn²⁺ +H₂O
Explanation
This is a redox reaction (oxidation-reduction reaction) which involves the transfer of electrons between two species. i.e
Mn + 6e⁻→Mn²⁺ (reduction)
3N³⁺- 6e⁻→3Mn⁵⁺(oxidation)
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 chemical equation is
Cu(s) +4HNO3(aq) ⇒ Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
Answer:
12
Explanation:
In the right hand side of the equation, there are three compound which contains O2, which are;
Cu(NO3)2 , number of oxygen atoms =3*2 =6
2NO2, number of oxygen atoms = 2*2=4
2H2O, number of oxygen atoms =2*1=2
Total number of oxygen atoms on the right side of equation = 6+4+2 =12
Chemical change happens when a substance combines with
another substance to form a new substance. It produces chemical reactions and
generally is not reversible except by further chemical reactions. Heat is sometimes
produced in some reactions. When chemical reactions occur, the atoms are
rearranged and an energy change happens along with it as new products are
generations. At a molecular level, chemical changes involves the making or
breaking of bonds between atoms. Some examples of chemical change are iron
rusting (iron oxide forms) and bread rising (yeast converts carbohydrates into
carbon dioxide gas).
