Answer:  D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: _1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.

Rus_ich [418]
1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.

1. What is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 0.30 m?
Sav [38]
Wave speed = frequency x wavelength 
                     =   100 x 0.3
                     =       30 m/s.

Hope this helps!

Explain how you would test the presence of oxygen and hydrogen gases. ​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Place a burning splint near the opening of a test tube. If a popping noise occurs, it's probably hydrogen. Place a glowing splint in the test tube, and if it reignites, it could be oxygen. Place a burning splint into a test tube, and if it goes out, it could be carbon dioxide.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Theories

Explanation:

It is theories because it was a generalistee abstract or thinking generalising the principle of fact about Earth tectonic plates ,it was formulated and concluded as plate tectonic theories after many findings. The theories conclude that the Earth has an outer layer called lithosphere and lies overly a plastic layer called asthenosphere. The lithosphere is divided into several plates and they move close to each other where they diverge, converge or slip over one another.
