  The mass in grams  of nitric  acid that is required  to react  with 454g C7H8 is 932.72  grams

     calculation
find the  moles  of C7H8  used
moles = mass/molar mass

= 454 g/92  = 4.935  moles

balanced reacting  equation

C7H8  +3 HNO3  = C7H5N3O6  +3 H20
by  use of mole ratio between  C7H8  to  HNo3  which is  1:3  the moles of  HNO3  =4.935  x3 = 14.805  moles

mass of HNo3  =  moles  x molar mass
= 14.805  x 63  = 932.72  grams

part B

the  mass of  C7H5N3o6 = 2045.5 grams

calculate the moles of C7H8
= 829 g/92  g/mol  = 9.011  moles

by use of mole  ratio  between C7H8 to C7H5N3O6  which is  1:1  the moles of  C7H5N3O6  is also  = 9.011  moles

mass of  C7H5N3O6  is therefore  =  moles x molar mass

=9.011 x227  = 2045.5 grams

HeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppFind the statement about Fusion that is false.
Pie

Fusion releases less energy than fission

fusion most commonly combines heavy isotopes of hydrogen into helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a form of reaction that involves the combination of two light nuclei to form one that is heavier in mass.

The other form is nuclear fission which is the splitting of heavier nuclei either spontaneously or when bombarded with other nuclei.

  • Nuclear fusion reactions in the core of stars powers the universe.
  • The reactions produces a huge amount of energy of a greater and massive order than fission reaction.
  • Small nuclei are involved in nuclear fusion and not the large ones.
  • Nuclear fusion degenerates into series of chain reactions that are extremely difficult to control.

A positron is emitted when ____________. *
Darina [25.2K]
The correct answer is:
a positron is emitted when proton converts to a neutron.

The reaction can be described as following:
₁¹p (proton) → ₀¹n (neutron) + ₁°e (positron or ₁⁰β)
Positron is an antiparticle of a β particle (₋₁°β), which means it has an oposite charge to it, but same mass.
