Fission reactions are induced in nuclear power plants because they produce great amounts of energy. Often, a nucleus must be for

ced to undergo fission by being hit by another particle. A U-235 nucleus being hit with some other particle causes it to undergo fission and emit more particles. Those particles eventually hit other U-235 nuclei, which propagates the reaction. What is this type of reaction called

Answer:

Chain reaction

Explanation:

A chain reaction is a reaction that sustains itself. It has the ability to continue for a very long time without adding any more materials to the reaction system. It may be succinctly described as a self propagating reaction.

In a nuclear fission, uranium-235 is bombarded with neutrons to produce unstable uranium-236 which disintegrates to form daughter nuclei and produce more neutrons that bombard more uranium-235 and the reaction continues indefinitely.

5K + KNO3 ------ 3K2O + N
masya89 [10]

Answer:

174,957.143 grams of potassium and 89,228.478 grams of potassium nitrate will be needed.

Explanation:

5K +KNO_3\rightarrow 3K_2O + N

Mass of nitrogen =  27 lbs = 12,247 g

1 lbs = 453.592 g

Moles of nitrogen = \frac{12,247 g}{14 g/mol}=874.786 mol

According to reaction, 1 mole of nitrogen is produced from 5 moles of potassium and 1 mole of potassium nitrate.

Then 874.786 mol of nitrogen will be obtained from :

\frac{5}{1}\times 874.786 mol=4,373.928 mol of potassium.

Then 874.786 mol of nitrogen will be obtained from :

\frac{1}{1}\times 874.786 mol=874.789 mol of potassium nitrate.

Mass of 4,373.928 moles of potassium:

4,373.928 mol\times 40 g/mol=174,957.143 g of potassium

Mass of 874.789 moles of potassium nitrate:

874.789 mol\times 102 g/mol=89,228.478 g of potassium nitrate

1) starts at high pH, no buffer zone - strong base being titrated with strong acid 
2) starts at low pH, no buffer zone - strong acid being titrated with strong base 
3) starts at low pH, shows a buffer zone - weak acid titrated with strong base 
4) starts at high pH, shows a buffer zone - weak base titrated with strong acid 
5) polyprotic due to two equivalence points

andre [41]

Answer:

It would be higher than expected.

Explanation:

Respiration quotient (RQ) may be defined as the quantity used for the representation of the basal metabolic rate. This mainly depends on the amount of the carbon dioxide.

The respiratory quotient represents the ratio of carbon dioxide eliminated with the amount of the oxygen consumed. During stress condition, the oxygen consumption of our body increase and more carbon dioxide is exhale out from the body. This will increase the RQ.

Thus, the answer is RQ will be higher than expected.
