Which pair of nuclei can undergo a fusion reaction?

1 answer:

3 0

The correct answer is B. Fusion only happens between small atoms. Thus, hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3 can undergo fusion. Fusion reaction happens when two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.

Aluminum chloride can be formed from its elements:

saul85 [17]

Answer: The $\Deltas H^o_{formation}$ for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical reaction for the formation reaction of $AlCl_3$ is:

$2Al(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3 (s)$ $\Delta H^o_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $HCl(g)\rightarrow HCl(aq.)$ $\Delta H_1=-74.8kJ$ ( × 6)

(2) $H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2HCl(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-185kJ$ ( × 3)

(3) $AlCl_3(aq.)\rightarrow AlCl_3(s)$ $\Delta H_3=+323kJ$ ( × 2)

(4) $2Al(s)+6HCl(aq.)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(aq.)+3H_2(g)$ $\Delta H_4=-1049kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $AlCl_3$ is,

$\Delta H^o_{formation}=[6\times \Delta H_1]+[3\times \Delta H_2]+[2\times \Delta H_3]+[1\times \Delta H_4]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{formation}=[(-74.8\times 6)+(-185\times 3)+(323\times 2)+(-1049\times 1)]=-1406.8kJ$

Hence, the $\Deltas H^o_{formation}$ for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

Explain why photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the “real circle of life”

BabaBlast [244]

Explanation:Photosynthesis is important because the earth and all of the creatures in the sea and land need the plants to be able to feed themselves with the help of the sun and with cellular respiration, those plants are able to take in the carbon dioxide that we give and make into oxygen with we need. there fore without them we would not be able to exist.
