Is nuclear fission necessary in order to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction?

No, a fission reaction is not necessary to trigger a fusion reaction, but for us on earth, it is. In the field of nuclear weapons, a fission bomb is needed to create the heat necessary to set off a fusion weapon. We have to use fission, or, rather, the energy created by that, to initiate the fusion reaction. It might be possible to use a high power source, like a laser, on a small amount of material to get fusion to occur. But we are still experimenting with this in the Tokamak, and it's far from being a done deal. Stars are, in general, massive nuclear fusion reactors. Their constant consumption of fuel powering their high rate of fusion creates a massive amount of energy, and the stars' huge gravity keeps this process from blowing the whole thing apart. No fission is needed to sustain this reaction.

How many grams of Cl are in 535 g of CaCl₂?
Sliva [168]
The answer is 341.7 g.

(1) Calculate the molar mass (M) of CaCl2 which is the sum of atomic masses (A) of elements:
M(CaCl2) = A(Ca) + 2A(Cl)
A(Ca) = 40.1 g/mol
A(Cl) = 35.45 g/mol

M(CaCl2) = 40.1 + 2 * 35.45 = 40.1 + 70.9 = 111 g/mol

(2) Calculate in how many moles are 535 g:
M(CaCl2) = 111 g/mol
111g : 1mol = 535 g : xmol
x = 535 g * 1mol : 111g = 4.82 mol

(3) Calculate how many grams of Cl are in 4.82 mol:
A(Cl) = 35.45 g/mol 
2A(Cl) = 2 * 35.45 = 70.9 g/mol
70.9 g : 1 mol = x : 4.82 mol
x = 70.9 g * 4.82 mol : 1 mol = 341.7 g
