What is the result of an uncontrolled chain reaction

Chemistry
2 answers:
vazorg [7]3 years ago
4 0

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.

How many liters of a 6.0M solution Fe(SCN)2 are needed to prepare 2.0L of a 0.75M solution?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

0.25L

Explanation:

Using the dilution formula

C1V1=C2V2

C1=6M

V1?

C2=0.75M

V2=2.0L

V1= C2V2/C1

V1=0.75*2.0/6

V1=0.25L

What is a positive ion?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

If the atom has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion or ANION. If it has more protons than electrons, it is a positive ion.

Explanation:

Positive ions are typically metals or act like metals. Many common materials contain these ions. Mercury is found in thermometers, for instance, and aluminum is a metal that is found in a surprising amount of things.

What is the value for ∆Soreaction for the following reaction, given the standard entropy values?
Soloha48 [4]
To get the ∆S of the reaction, we simply have to add the ∆S of the reactants and the ∆S of the products. Then, we get the difference between the ∆S of the products and the ∆S of the products. If the <span>∆S is negative, then the reaction spontaneous. If the otherwise, the reaction is not spontaneous.</span>
