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.

What volume will 1.27 moles of helium gas occupy at 80.00 °C and 1.00 atm?

White raven [17]

Answer:

36.8 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 80 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 80 °C

T(K) = 80 + 273

T(K) = 353 K

Finally, we shall determine the volume occupied by the helium gas. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of mole (n) = 1.27 moles

Temperature (T) = 353 K

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

PV = nRT

1 × V = 1.27 × 0.0821 × 353

V = 36.8 L

Thus, the volume occupied by the helium gas is 36.8 L

6. Explain why there is no base unit for the dimension of volume.

weqwewe [10]

Because in SI, the expectation is that area and volume will be expressed in terms of a linear dimension( the metre) or its multiples.

Use the drop-down menus to classify the elements as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, or transition metals.

aleksley [76]

The following are the classification of each element above:

Nickel - Transitional Metal
Potassium- Alkali Metal
Cadmium- Transitional Metal
Calcium- Alkaline Earth Metal
Barium- Alkaline Earth Metal

I attached a color-coded, labelled period table that will help to see the derivative of my responses.

A solution of NaOH has a concentration of 25.00% by mass. What mass of NaOH is present in 0.250 g of this solution? Use the peri

meriva

The concentration of NaOH is 25.00% by mass, it means that 25.00% of the mass of the solution is of NaOH. Hence:

$m_{NaOH}=25.00\%\times m_{solution}\Longrightarrow m_{NaOH}=\dfrac{25}{100}\times 0.250~g\iff\\\\\boxed{m_{NaOH}=0.0625~g}$

Which statement justifies that phosphine (PH3) is a polar molecule?

lorasvet [3.4K]

The P-H bond is polar and the molecule is asymmetric.

Non-polar bonds cannot produce polar molecules and symmetric bonds result in even distribution of charge, so no net charge is observed.
