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.

If 0.959J of heat is added to 0.88g of water, how much will its temperature increase
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

0.260 Celsius

Explanation:

q =c x m x (T2-T1)

c - specific heat of water 4.186 J/g.C

T2-T1 = q /(c x m) = 0.959 /(4.186 x 0.88) = 0.959/3.68 =0.260 C

When sulfur burns in air, it forms sulfur dioxide as shown by the equation below.what volume of SO2 is produced when 2.35 g of s
Naddik [55]

1.64 L of sulfur dioxide (SO₂)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

S (s) + O₂ (g) → SO₂ (g)

First we calculate the number of moles of sulfur (S):

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of sulfur = 2.35 / 32 = 0.0734 moles

Looking at the chemical reaction we see that 1 moles of sulfur (S) produces 1 moles of sulfur dioxide (SO₂), so 0.0734 moles of sulfur will produce 0.0734 moles of sulfur dioxide (SO₂).

To calculate the volume of sulfur dioxide (SO₂), assuming that the sulfur dioxide is behaving as an ideal gas and the we determine the gas volume under standard temperature and pressure conditions, we use the following formula:

number of moles = volume / 22.4 (L/mole)

volume = number of moles × 22.4

volume of SO₂ = 0.0734 × 22.4 = 1.64 L
