What happens to the nucleus of an atom during nuclear fission?

Chemistry

Murljashka [212]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. it splits into two pieces of similar size

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process in physics that consists of dividing the nucleus of an atom considered unstable into two smaller nuclei of similar size by bombarding particles like neutrons.

This process is an exothermic chemical reaction and occurs when there is a large release of energy. It is considered a form of nuclear transmutation, because the generated fragments are not of the same element as the isotope that generated them.

How do you calculate the number of photons having a wavelength of 10.0 micrometers required to produce 1.0 kilojoules of energy
shtirl [24]

To calculate this,

We know that energy is 1 photon 
E = hc/wavelenth 
wavelength of 10.0 m 

Solution:
h = 6.626 x 10^-34 Jsec 
C = 2.9979 x 10^8 m/sec 
E = 6.626 10^-34 * 2.9979 10^8 / 10 = 1.9864 10^-26J 

Then, the number of photons is computed by:

n = 1000 / 1.9864 10^-26 = 5.04 10^28 photons

Which changes increase the rate of reaction between calcium
Illusion [34]

Answer:

1. Increasing the concentration of the acid

2. Increasing the temperature

Explanation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl ⟶ CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Increasing the concentration of the acid increases the number of hydronium ions in contact with the surface of the CaCO₃ per unit time.

Increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the hydronium ions, so they hit the surface of the CaCO₃ mor frequently and with greater force.

3. is wrong. The bigger the pieces, the smaller the surface area that is available for reaction.

A gas mixture contains 0.800 mol of N2, 0.200 mol of H2, and 0.150 mol of CH4. What is the mole fraction of H2 in the mixture?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

0.1739

Explanation:

0.800 mol of N2

0.200 mol of H2

0.150 mol of CH4

Total moles of the mixture = 0.8 + 0.2 + 0.150 = 1.150 mol

Mole fraction of H2 = Number of moles of H2 /  Total moles

Mole Fraction = 0.2 / 1.150 = 0.1739

How much energy is lost to condense 300. grams of steam at 100.C?
True [87]

Energy lost to condense = 803.4 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Condensation of steam through 2 stages:

1. phase change(steam to water)

2. cool down(100 to 0 C)

1. phase change(condensation)

Lv==latent heat of vaporization for water=2260 J/g

\tt Q=300\times 2260=678000~J

2. cool down

c=specific heat for water=4.18 J/g C

\tt Q=300\times 4.18\times (100-0)=125400

Total heat =

\tt 678000+125400=803400~J
