Which is most likely why many scientists reject the cold fusion theory?

1 answer:

4 0

Because many calculations using conventional theory shown that even though a little fusion may take place under low-energy condition, the amount required to reach the claimed heat in cold fusion theory is impossible, which make many Scientist doubt this theory

Given that a chlorine-oxygen bond has an enthalpy of 243 kJ/mol , an oxygen-oxygen bond has an enthalpy of 498 kJ/mol , and the

Alecsey [184]

Explanation:

The chemical equation is as follows.

$\frac{1}{2}Cl_{2}(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g) \rightarrow ClO(g)$

And, the given enthalpy is as follows.

$\frac{1}{2}Cl_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow ClO_{2}(g)$ ; $\Delta H$ = 102.5 kJ

Cl-Cl = 243 kJ/mol, O=O = 498 kJ/mol

Since, the bond enthalpy of Cl-Cl is not given so at first, we will calculate the value of Cl-Cl as follows.

$\Delta H = \sum \text{bond broken in reactants} - \sum \text{bond broken in products}$

102.5 = $[(\frac{1}{2})x + 498] - [(2)(243)]$

102.5 = $(\frac{1}{2})x + 498 - 486$

102.5 - 12 = $\frac{x}{2}$

x = 181 kJ

Now, total bond enthalpy of per mole of ClO is calculated as follows.

$\Delta H = \sum E(\text{bond broken in reactants}) - \sum (\text{bond broken in products})$

x = $[(\frac{1}{2})181 + (\frac{1}{2})498] - 243$

= 339.5 - 243

= 96.5 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that the value for the enthalpy of formation per mole of ClO(g) is 96.5 kJ.

Which event is most likely an example of a chemical reaction

Inessa [10]

Explanation:

One example of a chemical reaction is the rusting of a steel garbage can. That rusting happens because the iron (Fe) in the metal combines with oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere. Chemical bonds are created and destroyed to finally make iron oxide (Fe2O3).
