Explanation:

Fission refers to splitting into parts.

When there is splitting of a heavy nucleus that leads to formation of two or more small nucleus along with release of energy is known as a nuclear fission reaction.

For example, ^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{89}_{36}Kr + ^{144}_{56}Ba + 3^{1}_{0}n + 210 MeV

Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Manganese (VII) ion (an anion) has the formula MnO₄⁻</u>. A polyatomic ion is an ion that is made up of more than one atom. For example, MnO₄⁻ and NH₄⁺. Since the ion provided in the question is an anion, the polyatomic ion that would react with it will have to be a cation (positively charged).

<u>The polyatomic cation that will react with MnO₄⁻ to form a neutral compound is NH₄⁺ (ammonium ion) to form NH₄MnO₄ (Ammonium permanganate).</u>

If 50. 75 g of a gas occupies 10. 0 l at stp, 129. 3 g of the gas will occupy ________ l at stp.
NeX [460]

22.4L

of any gas contains 1 mol of that gas.

50.75g/10L*22.4L/1 mol= 113.68g/mol- this is the mole weight of your gas

1 mol/113.68g*129.3g=1.137403 mol

Set up a ratio

1.137403mol/x L=1 mol/22.4 L

X=25.477827L, or with sig figs, x=25.5L

Which is true regarding the penetrating power of radiation?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Gamma radiation have the most penetrating power. It can penetrate through human body, aluminum and other metals. It can be stopped by lead. Hence, the radioactive waste are stored in lead container for safety purposes. The beta ray has more penetrating power than the alpha but less than gamma. The beta radiations can be stopped by aluminum. The alpha radiations have least penetrating power and it can be stopped by human hands.
