Which statement best describes the process of nuclear fusion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
victus00 [196]4 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.

Although coal is a complex mixture of substances, its elemental composition can be approximated by the formula <img src="https:/
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

2C_{135}H_{96}O_9NS+313O_2\rightarrow 270CO_2+2NO_2+2SO_2+96H_2O

Mass of coal burned = 1.00\times 10^6 metric ton = 1.00\times 10^6\times 10^3 kg=10^9 kg[/tex]

1 metric ton = 10^3kg

Molar mass of coal :

135\times 12g/mol+96\times 1g/mol+9\times 16 g/mol+1\times 14 g/mol+1\times 32 g/mol=1906 g/mol=1.906 kg/mol

1 g = 0.001 kg

Moles of coal ,n :\frac{10^9 kg}{1.906 kg/mol}=5.247\times 10^8 mol

If 2 moles of coal on combustion gives 270 moles of carbon dioxide than n moles of coal will give;

5.247\times 10^8 mol\times \frac{270}{2}=7.083\times 10^{10} mol of carbon dioxide.

Molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mol = 0.044 kg/mol

Mass of 7.083\times 10^{10} mol of carbon dioxide:

7.083\times 10^{10} mol\times 0.044 kg/mol=3.11\times 10^{11} kg

What is the concentration of chloride ion when 16.8ml of a 0.554 M solution of barium chloride is combined with 16.8ml of a 0.59
ozzi

Answer:

The concentration of chloride ion is 2.887 M.

Explanation:

Here we have a combination BaCl₂  and AlCl₃

1 mole BaCl₂ can produce 2 moles chloride ions as follows;

BaCl₂ → Ba²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

Therefore;

0.554  mole BaCl₂ can produce 2×0.554  moles chloride ions;

1 mole AlCl₃ can produce 3 moles chloride ions as follows;

AlCl₃ → Al³⁺ + 3Cl⁻

Therefore;

0.593 mole AlCl₃ can produce 3×0.593 moles chloride ions

Total concentration of chloride ions = 2×0.554 + 3×0.593 = 2.887 moles of Cl⁻ in 2×16.8 ml solution

The concentration of Cl⁻ is 2.887 M
