Which statement best describes the process of nuclear fusion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
victus00 [196]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a. Smaller nuclei combine to make a larger nucleus.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the process by which several atomic nuclei of similar charge bind and form a heavier nucleus.

In order for fusion to occur, an important energy barrier produced by electrostatic force must be overcome. Over long distances, two nuclei repel each other due to the electrostatic repulsion force between their protons, positively charged. However, if two nuclei can be approached sufficiently, due to the strong nuclear interaction, which is greater over short distances, electrostatic repulsion can be overcome, and fusion takes place.

How many grams of Cl are in 525g of CaCl2
Tema [17]

First we determine the moles CaCl2 present:

525g / (110.9g/mole) = 4.73 moles CaCl2 present 

Based on stoichiometry, there are 2 moles of Cl for every mole of CaCl2:<span>
(2moles Cl / 1mole CaCl2) x 4.73 moles CaCl2 = 9.47 moles Cl </span>

Get the mass:<span>
<span>9.47moles Cl x 35.45g/mole = 335.64 g Cl</span></span>

What are the benefits and drawbacks to having a pouring temperature that is much higher than the metal’s melting temperature?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The main advantage would be that with the pouring temperature being much higher, there is very little chance that the metal will solidify in the mould while busy pouring. This will allow for moulds that are quite intricate to still be fully filled. The drawbacks, though, include an increased chance defects forming which relates to shrinkage (cold shots, shrinkage pores, etc). Another drawback includes entrained air being present, due to the viscosity of the metal being low because of the high pouring temperature.
