Why does a mountain of uranium not explode as a bomb? ​

Answer:

“A mountain of uranium” is an indefinable amount of uranium. If it means uranium ore as found in nature, then the concentration of uranium is orders of magnitude too low for any type of reaction.

Your mountain is almost entirely U238 which cannot be used in an atomic bomb. The reason is that it will not sustain a chain reaction, which depends on neutrons released in fission events to induce further fission events in an exponentionally increasing amount.

Nuclear fusion because atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. Option A is correct.

<h3>What is nuclear fusion?</h3>

The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction.

The more energy it takes to liberate an electron from a smaller atom. This is referred to as binding energy.

As a result, when two little nuclei fuse together, there is more binding energy than when two big nuclei fuse together.

For example, the fusion of two hydrogen atoms produces more energy than the fusion of one helium atom, and surplus energy is expelled into space upon binding.

Nuclear fusion because atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus.

Hence, option A is correct.

An air compressor compresses 6 L of air at 120 kPa and 22°C to 1000 kPa and 400°C. Determine the flow work, in kJ/kg, required b
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The work flow required by the compressor = 100.67Kj/kg

Explanation:

The solution to this question is obtained from the energy balance where the initial and final specific internal energies and enthalpies are taken from A-17 table from the given temperatures using interpolation .

The work flow can be determined using the equation:

M1h1 + W = Mh2

U1 + P1alph1 + ◇U + Workflow = U2 + P2alpha2

Workflow = P2alpha2 - P1alpha1

Workflow = (h2 -U2) - (h1 - U1)

Workflow = ( 684.344 - 491.153) - ( 322.483 - 229.964)

Workflow = ( 193.191 - 92.519)Kj/kg

Workflow = 100.672Kj/kg
