Answer :

  • Nuclear fission : In nuclear reaction, the nucleus of a larger atom breaks into two or more smaller nuclei. In fission process, protons and neutrons are produced and larger amount of energy is released.

Example : In nuclear power plant, the energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.

  • Nuclear fusion : In nuclear reaction, the nuclei of two or more smaller atoms combine together to form single larger molecule. In fusion process, the mass of the resulting nuclei is more as compared to the starting nuclei and large amount of energy is also released.

Example : This process occurs in the sun and stars. In this, the isotopes of Hydrogen, Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom under high pressure and temperature.

What is an atom? how can we predict it?
sattari [20]

An atom is the what makes up elements. It is made up of positive particles (protons), negative particles (electrons), and neutrons (no charged particles).

Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom while electrons hover around.

You cannot predict an atom. This is because it is not anything to guess about -if you know what I mean.

Happy to help!

The equilibrium constant for the chemical equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g) and Kp=0.174 at 243°C. Calculate the value of Kc for
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The Kc of this reaction is 311.97

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kp = 0.174

Temperature = 243 °C

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

Step 3: Calculate Kc

Kp = Kc *(RT)^Δn

⇒ with Kp = 0.174

⇒ with Kc = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 Latm/Kmol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 243 °C = 516 K

⇒ with Δn = number of moles products - moles reactants  2 – (1 + 3) = -2

0.174 = Kc (0.08206*516)^-2

Kc = 311.97

The Kc of this reaction is 311.97
