Sort these isotopes by whether they are most likely to undergo fusion or fission.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maslowich3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Uranium-233- fission

Plutonium-239- fission

Plutonium-241- fission

Hydrogen-3 fusion

Hydrogen-1 fusion

Helium-3 fusion

Explanation:

In nuclear fission, heavy nuclear disintegrate into smaller nuclei when bombarded with particles such as neutrons. Fission reaction is common among nuclei having a high atomic number such as plutonium and uranium.

Fusion occurs between two light nuclei such as hydrogen or helium. It involves the combination of two lighter elements to give a heavier element with the release of tremendous amount of energy.

A mixture of c2h2 and ch4 has a total mass of 230.9 g. when this mixture reacts completely with excess oxygen, the co2 and h2o p
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Interesting problem. Thanks for posting.

C2H2 + (3/2)02 ====>  H2O + 2CO2
CH4 +  2O2 =====> 2H2O + CO2

The molar mass of C2H2 = 2*12 + 2*1 = 26
The molar mass of CH4 = 1*12 + 4*1 = 16

The number of moles of C2H2 = x
The number of moles of  CH4 = y
26x + 16y = 230.9 grams

For water we get (from the C2H2). Water has a molar mass of 2*1 + 16 = 18

x*18 See the balanced equation to see what it is the same number of moles as C2H2
From the methane we get
y*18
2*y* 18. Again see the balanced equation to see where that 2 came from.
18x + 36y is the total amount of water. 

Now for the CO2. CO2 has a molar mass of 12 + 2*16 = 44
From C2H2  we get 2*44*x = 88x grams of CO2
From CH4 we get 1*y*44 grams of CO2
88x + 44y for CO2

Now we total to get the grand total of water and CO2
18x + 44y + 88x + 44y = 972.7 grams total.
106x + 88y =  972.7

Two equations, two unknowns, we should be able to solve this problem
26x + 16y = 230.9
106x + 88y = 972.7

I'm not going to go through the math unless you request me to do so. 
x = 8.03 moles
y = 1.38 moles 

The initial amount of C2H2 was 8.03 * 26 = 208.78
The initial amount of CH4 was 16*1.38 = 22.08
The total (as a check is 230.86 which is pretty close to the given amount.
So Methane's mass in the initial givens was 22.08 grams.

If a substance cannot be broken down chemically into a simpler substance what is it
Vikentia [17]

Answer: An Element

Explanation:

An element is a substance that cannot be split into smaller substance. It is made up of one kind of atom and can exist either as molecules  (e.g nitogen) or an atom (e.g argon).
