Galaxy Formation. One says that galaxies were born when vast clouds of gas and dust collapsed under their own gravitational pull, allowing stars to form. The other, which has gained strength in recent years, says the young universe contained many small "lumps" of matter, which clumped together to form galaxies.
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>
Answer:
Answer below
Explanation:
First to show combustion, you use O₂.
So C₆H₁₀O₅ + O₂ is the reaction. Assuming complete combustion, all you get as products are CO₂ and H₂O. Then you have to balance the full reaction.
C₆H₁₀O₅ + 6O₂ -----> 6CO₂ + 5H₂O
6 Carbons on each side
10 Hydrogens on each side
17 Oxygens on each side
Answer:
Mass = 381.28 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of HNO₃ = 16 mol
Mass of Cu needed to react with 16 mol of HNO₃ = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
3Cu + 8HNO₃ → 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 4H₂O + 2NO
Now we will compare the moles of Cu with HNO₃ from balance chemical equation.
HNO₃ : Cu
8 : 3
16 : 3/8×16 = 6
Mass of Cu needed:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 6 mol × 63.546 g/mol
Mass = 381.28 g
Answer:
longitudinal
Explanation:
A prime meridian is the meridian (a line of longitude) in a geographic coordinate system at which longitude is defined to be 0°. Together, a prime meridian and its anti-meridian (the 180th meridian in a 360°-system) form a great circle. This great circle divides a spheroid into two hemispheres.
