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.

Lab Scenario D:
Cloud [144]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A reaction in which heat and light are produced is a combustion reaction. Combustion is said to have occurred when a substance is burnt in oxygen.

The balanced equation of the reaction is;

4Li(s) + O2(g) ------->2Li2O(s)

This reaction is exothermic because heat was produced. The reaction has a low activation energy as the metal easily burst into flames in oxygen. A catalyst is not needed in this reaction because it has a low activation energy.

According to the law of conservation of mass. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. What this means is that in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side must be the same as the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side.

Genetic equilibrium is the state in which allele frequencies do<br> not change in a<br> Check it
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Genetic equilibrium is the state in which allele frequencies do

not change in a generation over generation.

Explanation:

Genetic equilibrium can be described as a situation which arises when a certain allele or genotype remains constant for a species generation over generations. Genetic equilibrium can be maintained if no external factors like mutations affect the population of the species. The phenomenon of natural selection and evolution need to be stopped if a genetic equilibrium is to be maintained. Hardy-Weinberg theorem is the mathematical depiction of genetic equilibrium.

* The cost of table salt and table sugar is Rs 15 per kg.
Vilka [71]

Cost per mole

Table salt : Rs 0.878

Table sugar : Rs 23.63

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Cost table salt (NaCl) = 15/kg

Cost table sugar(sucrose-C12H22O11) = 69/kg

Required

cost per mole

Solution

mol of 1 kg Table salt(NaCl ,MW= 58.5 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{1000~g}{58.5}=17.09~mol=Rs~15\rightarrow 1~mol=Rs~0.878

mol of 1 kg Table sugar(C12H22O11 ,MW= 342 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{1000}{342}=2.92~mol=Rs~69\rightarrow 1~mol=Rs~23.63
