What is the result of an uncontrolled chain reaction

Chemistry
2 answers:
vazorg [7]3 years ago

A chain reaction is a nuclear reaction that occurs when sufficient unstable nuclei are present so that when one splits (decays), its products hit other unstable nuclei, causing them to decay and initiating a chain reaction.

If this reaction goes uncontrolled, a massive explosion occurs. Such a reaction is the type that went uncontrolled when nuclear bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. A chain reaction is much like dominoes all in a row; when one goes down, they all go down in order. The only way to block the chain reaction is to pull out a domino or to block the fall so the "chain" is broken.

The amount of fissionable material needed to accomplish a spontaneous chain reaction is called the critical mass. The critical mass for U-235 is about 1 kg. This explosive fission process takes place quickly, and an incredible amount of energy is released when it occurs.

So it would be C.

Given the following equation, N2O(g) + NO2(g) → 3 NO(g) ΔG°rxn = -23.0 kJ
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

ΔG°rxn = -69.0 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

N₂O(g) + NO₂(g) → 3 NO(g) ΔG°rxn = -23.0 kJ

Since ΔG°rxn < 0, this reaction is exergonic, that is, 23.0 kJ of energy are released. The Gibbs free energy is an extensive property, meaning that it depends on the amount of matter. Then, if we multiply the amount of matter by 3 (by multiplying the stoichiometric coefficients by 3), the ΔG°rxn will also be tripled.

3 N₂O(g) + 3 NO₂(g) → 9 NO(g) ΔG°rxn = -69.0 kJ

As salinity increases:
Mashcka [7]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The amount of salt present or dissolved in water or water body is known as salinity.

When salinity increases then number of particles increases, therefore, density will increase. Also, number of ions will decrease thus, electrical conductivity will decrease.

On the other hand, increase in salinity will increase the amount of salt (NaCl) is the water.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the option all of the above is true.

In the wintertime, you decide to buy a helium balloon at Dollar Tree. It is fully
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The reason that the balloon shrinks is because when the temperature drops, helium becomes more dense then it already is. So what happens is that its molecules lose energy, slows down and moves closer together to conserve heat and this decreases the volume inside the balloon because the helium molecules are moving closer together, rather than outward toward the shell of the balloon which cause the balloon to swell then shrink. The gas law that causes this to happen is the Charles law.
