Fast breeder reactors are seldom used anymore because of safety concerns, as they have a higher potential for explosions. But th

is explosion hazard does not come from the nuclear fission reaction. What does it come from? Explain your answer in just one or two sentences.

<span>Nuclear reactors generate energy through fission, the process by which an atomic nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei. During fission, a small amount of mass is converted into energy, which can be used to power a generator to create electricity. In order to harness this energy, a controlled chain reaction is required for fission to take place. When a uranium nucleus in a reactor splits, it produces two or more neutrons that can then be absorbed by other nuclei, causing them to undergo fission as well. More neutrons are released in turn and continuous fission is achieved.</span>

Arlecino [84]

options:

a) noninvasive

b) precise

c) inexpensive

d) easy

Answer:b) precise

Explanation: BMI(BODY MASS INDEX) is a very vital measurement tool for evaluating and the determining the level of Obesity of overweight of a person.

Body mass index is noninvasive, it is inexpensive and easy way of knowing how well the body weight and height is related to a person's well being.

It is calculated as follows; WEIGHT(KILOGRAMS)/SQUARE OF THE HEIGHT(METERS)

Part C
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

                     (i) 1 moles of C

                     (ii) 4.5 moles of C

Explanation:

                   The Chemical equation is as follow,

                                             A + 2 B  →  C

This chemical equation can be translated as;

(i) 1 mole of A reacts with 2 moles of B

(ii) 1 mole of A produces 1 mole of C

(iii) 2 moles of B reacts with 1 mole of A

(iv) 2 moles of B produces 1 mole of C

(v) 1 mole of C is produced by 1 mole of A and 2 moles of B

Therefore to find the number of moles of C produced by 2 mole of B we will do following proportional method.

As,

                        2 moles of B produced  =  1 mole of C

So,

                    2 moles of B will produce  =  X moles of C

Solving for X,

                      X =  2 moles × 1 mole / 2 moles

                      X =  1 moles of C

Note:

         In above problem the given moles were the same as that present in balance equation so incase if the moles are different from that of the equation then the method shown above can be used to solve it.

Lets try it for 9 moles of B:

As,

                        2 moles of B produced  =  1 mole of C

So,

                    9 moles of B will produce  =  X moles of C

Solving for X,

                      X =  9 moles × 1 mole / 2 moles

                      X =  4.5 moles of C

In which layer does mantle convection occur? ​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The correct answer is asthenosphere.

Explanation:

The Earth comprises four layers, that is, the crust, the mantle, the inner core, and the outer core. The magnetic field of the Earth is the amalgamation of the convection it attains from the Coriolis Effect and the outer core. The layer of the Earth where convection of the mantle takes place is the asthenosphere.
