Answer:
In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom. Although nuclear fusion reactions require a lot of energy to get started, once they are going they produce enormous amounts of energy.
Explanation:
Answer:
0.846 moles.
Explanation:
- This is a stichiometric problem.
- The balanced equation of complete combustion of butane is:
C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O
- It is clear from the stichiometry of the balanced equation that complete combustion of 1.0 mole of butane needs 6.5 moles of O₂ to produce 4 moles of CO₂ and 5 moles of H₂O.
<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>
- 1.0 mole of C₄H₁₀ reacts with → 6.5 moles of O₂
- ??? moles of C₄H₁₀ are needed to react with → 5.5 moles of O₂
- The number of moles of C₄H₁₀ that are needed to react with 5.5 moles of O₂ = (1.0 x 5.5 moles of O₂) / (6.5 moles of O₂) = 0.846 moles.
Answer:
a rapidly flowing river discharges into the ocean where tidal currents are weak.
Explanation:
The force of the river pushing fresh water out to sea rather than tidal currents transporting seawater upstream determines the water circulation in these estuaries.
