What are the prompt neutrons that occur during nuclear fission?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zysi [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Prompt Neutrons

Explanation:

Principle. Using uranium-235 as an example, this nucleus absorbs thermal neutrons, and the immediate mass products of a fission event are two large fission fragments, which are remnants of the formed uranium-236 nucleus. These fragments emit two or three free neutrons (2.5 on average), called prompt neutrons.

A voltaic cell utilizes the following reaction: 4Fe2+(aq)+O2(g)+4H+(aq)→4Fe3+(aq)+2H2O(l).
kari74 [83]

Answer:

The Emf of the given cell at [Fe2+] = 2.0 M and [Fe3+] = 1.9 M is 0.48 V

Explanation:

The half cell reaction can be written as :

Anode-Half (oxidation) :

Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Fe^{3+} + 1e^{-} ......E = 0.77 V

(multiply this equation by 4 to balance the electrons)

Cathode-half (reduction)

4H^{+} +O_{2} + 4e^{-} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O....E= 1.23 V

E^{0}_{cell} = E_{cathode} - E_{anode}

E^{0}_{cell} = 1.23 - 0.77

E^{0}_{cell} = 0.46 V

According to Nernst Equation

E_{cell} = E^{0} - \frac{RT}{nF}lnQ

E_{cell} = E^{0} - \frac{0.059}{n}logQ

n = number of electron transferred in the cell reaction = 4

The balanced equation is :

4Fe^{2+} + 4H^{+} +O_{2} \rightarrow 4Fe^{3+} + 2H_{2}O

E_{cell} = 0.46 - \frac{0.059}{4}logQ

log Q = \frac{[Fe^{3+}]^{4}}{[Fe^{2+}]^{4}}

log Q = \left ( \frac{[Fe^{3+}]}{[Fe^{2+}]} \right )^{4}

log Q = \left ( \frac{1.9}{2.0} \right )^{4}

Insert the value of log Q in Nernst  Equation:

E_{cell} = 0.46 - \frac{0.059}{4} log\left ( \frac{1.9}{2.0} \right )^{4}

(using :log^{a}b = a\log b

)

E_{cell} = 0.46 - log\frac{1.9}{2.0}

E_{cell} = 0.46 - log(0.95)

E_{cell} = 0.46 -(-0.0227)

E_{cell} = 0.482 V

How can you use the periodic table to find the number of protons in one atom of an element?
Ad libitum [116K]
The number of protons is the same as the atomic number of the element. So if you look for the atomic number of an element on your periodic table, then you can find the number of protons.

A voltaic cell spontaneously converts1) electrical energy to chemical energy(2) chemical energy to electrical energy(3) electric
Varvara68 [4.7K]
A voltaic cell spontaneously converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "2". Actually voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical contained within it by the process of chemical reaction to produce electrical energy. The voltaic cell contains an anode and a cathode. Anode is an electrode where the oxidation occurs and cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs. The oxidation and the reduction part occurs in two separate parts of the cell known as half-cell.

How can you determine if covalent bonding will occur?
Crank
If two nonmetals are bonded together. So look at your periodic table of elements and decide if the two elements that are being bonded are nonmetals or not.
