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.

The decomposition of ammonia is: 2 NH3(g) ⇌ N2(g) + 3 H2(g). If Kp is 1.5 × 103 at 400°C, what is the partial pressure of ammoni

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

" $6.7\times 10^{-4} \ atm$ " is the right answer.

Explanation:

Given:

Partial pressure of $N_2$ ,

= 0.20 atm

Partial pressure of $H_2$ ,

= 0.15 atm

$K_p = 1.5\times 10^3$ at $400^{\circ} C$

As we know,

⇒ $K_p = \frac{pN_2\times pH_2^3}{pNH_3^2}$

By putting the values, we get

$1.5\times 10^3=\frac{0.20\times (0.15)^3}{pNH_3^2}$

$pNH_3^2 = \frac{0.000675}{1.5\times 10^3}$

$=6.7\times 10^{-4} \ atm$

The chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO. A chemist determined by measurements that 0.030 moles of magnesium oxide partic

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

1.209g of MgO participates

Explanation:

In this problem, we have 0.030 moles of MgO that participates in a particular reaction.

And we are asked to solve for the mass of MgO that participates, that means, we need to convert moles to grams.

To convert moles to grams we need to use molar mass of the compound:

<em>1 atom of Mg has a molar mass of 24.3g/mol</em>

<em>1 atom of O has a molar mass of 16g/mol</em>

<em />

That means molar mass of MgO is 24.3g/mol + 16g/mol = 40.3g/mol

And mass of 0.030 moles of MgO is:

0.030 moles MgO * (40.3g/mol) =

<h3>1.209g of MgO participates</h3>

One agent of chemical weathering is _______________ which combines with water to form carbonic acid

ololo11 [35]

I believe the answer is carbon dioxide. Because when carbon dioxide and water combine in the atmosphere it forms a very weak acid called carbonic acid, which falls to the Earth's surface as precipitation.
