What process occurs in a controlled fusion reaction

1 answer:

5 0

The controlled fusion reaction is a nuclear reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come very close and then collide at a very high speed and join to form a nucleus. The mass of the new nucleus is slightly less than the sum of its components b an amount known as binding energy.

How does the freezing and boiling point of ocean water compare to those of distilled water?

vichka [17]

Distilled water is touched by man so it would probably be close to 300 degrees farenheit.......maybe.

Do the number of moles of a gas impact the pressure of a gas?

lapo4ka [179]

Yes. Avogadro Law gives the relationship between volume and amount when pressure and temperature are held constant. Remember amount is measured in moles. This means the gas pressure inside the container will increase (for an instant), becoming greater than the pressure on the outside of the walls.

How do her cells use these molecules to release energy for her body to run?

Anika [276]

In cells use oxygen to release energy stored in sugars such as glucose. In fact, most of the energy used by the cells in your body is provided by cellular respiration. Just as photosynthesis occurs in organelles called chloroplasts, cellular respiration takes place in organelles called mitochondria.

Why is U-235 the most common nuclear fuel instead of the more abundant U-238? State a clear topic sentence and support it with e

GREYUIT [131]

<h3>Answer and explanation;</h3>

The isotope U-235 is an important common nuclear fuel because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and use the expression 'nuclear fission'.
Uranium 238 on the other hand is not fissionable by thermal neutrons, but it can undergo fission from fast or high energy neutrons. Hence it is not fissile, but it is fissionable.
In a nuclear power station fissioning of uranium atoms replaces the burning of coal or gas. Heat created by splitting the U-235 atoms is then used to make steam which spins a turbine to drive a generator, producing electricity.
