The least amount of energy required to activate atoms or molecules to a state in which they can undergo a chemical reaction.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
= 633,600 Inches
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Speed refers to the rate of change in distance traveled by a body in motion.
It is the ratio of distance to time taken.
It is calculated by;
Speed = Distance ÷time taken
Therefore;
Distance = Speed × time
In this case;
Time taken = 12 minutes ( but 1 hr = 60 mins)
Thus, t = 0.2 hours
Speed = 50.0 miles/hour
Thus;
Distance = 50.0 miles/hr × 0.2 hours
= 10 miles
But, we are require to give the distance in inches;
1 mile = 63360 Inches
Therefore;
10 miles = 10 × 63360 Inches
= 633,600 Inches
1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>
Answer: GeH4 (Germanium(IV) Hydride)
Explanation:
A Binary molecular compound Hydrogen and a Group 4A element which is more more acidic than SiH4 in aqueous solution is GeH4.
The pKa of GeH4;
= 25
Whilst that of SiH4
= 35
The lesser the pKa the higher the Ka which means more acidic.
Answer: F. Endothermic…………………
