Answer:

The most promising of the nuclear fusions reactions for the future is the deuterium-tritium fusion, it comprises the deuterium cycle in which an amalgamation of tritium and deuterium takes place. The reaction produces an enormous energy of 17.6 MeV, however, to attain fusion there is a need to infiltrate the coulomb barrier with the help of tunneling, needing very high temperatures.

Neil Bohr contributed towards science in many ways, but his contributions did not include the charge of an electron. Neil Bohr recognized a relationship between the chemical properties of a substance and the number of valence shell electrons. Moreover, he introduced the atomic model in 1913 and provided the liquid-drop model to explain nuclear fusion.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).

It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.

If a gas had a volume of 6.7 L and started at STP, what would the new pressure be
Phantasy [73]

The new pressure would be = 4.46 atm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

V₁=6.7 L(at STP, 1 atm 273 K)

V₂=1.5 L

Required

The new pressure

Solution

Boyle's Law  

At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

\rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

P₂ = (P₁V₁)/V₂

P₂ = (1 atm x 6.7 L)/1.5 L

P₂ = 4.46 atm

A student performs the reduction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (151.12 g/mol) with sodium borohydride (37.83 g/mol) in the presence of
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

65.4%

Explanation:

The redox reaction is a 1:1:1 reaction because the reagents suffer a double displacement reaction, and the substance that is substituted have the same charge (H+ and Br-), thus, we first need to know which of the reagents is the limiting.

Let's test the 4-nitrobenzaldehyde as the limiting. The mass needed for sodium borohydride (m) is the mass given of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde multiplied by the stoichiometric mass of sodium borohydride divided by the stoichiometric mass of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. The stoichiometric mass is the number of moles in the stoichiometric representation (1:1:1) multiplied by the molar mass, so:

m = (4.13 * 37.83*1)/(151.12*1)

m = 1.034 g

So, the mass needed of the other reagent is larger than the mass that was given, so, it will be the limiting, and the stoichiometric calculus must be done with it.

The mass of the product that was expected is then:

m = (0.700*153.14*1)/(37.83*1)

m = 2.83 g

The percent yield is the mass that was formed divided by the expected mass, and then multiplied by 100%:

%yield = (1.85/2.83)*100%

%yield = 65.4%
