What is the result of an uncontrolled chain reaction

Chemistry

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.

Identify each of the following mixtures as either homogeneous or heterogeneous and as a solution, a suspension, or a colloid.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Blood.

<span>Blood is heterogeneous because it has corpuscles (blood cells and platelets) physically suspended in blood plasma.   Blood plasma and the corpuscles have different properties and can be separated by methods such as centrifugation. Also, blood is considered a colloid suspension because it has the properties of both a colloid and a suspension. This is because the blood plasma acts as a colloid. More so, if blood was left to settle,then the blood cells would collect at the bottom hence taking the characteristic of a suspension. </span>

<span>Salad dressing.</span>

<span>Depending on the type of salad, it can either be a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture. If the salad dressing is only of vinegar or any other oil, then it is a homogenous mixture. However, if it involves a mixture of vinegar and other oils, pepper, herbs, and etcetera, then it is a heterogeneous mixture</span>

Consider the following reaction.Cr2O3(s) + 3CCl4(l) 2CrCl3(s) + 3COCl2(g). When the green solid is mixed with the colorless liq
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter B

Explanation:

Reaction

                 Cr2O3(s)   +   3CCl4(l)   ⇒  2CrCl3(s)  +   3COCl2(g)

From the information given and the reaction, we can conclude that:

Green solid = Cr2O3 (s)     "s" means solid

Colorless liquid = CCl4 (l)    "l" means liquid   and is the other reactant

Purple solid = CrCl3(s)        CrCl3 is purple and "s" solid

Then, as a green specks remains it means that the excess reactant is Cr2O3, so, CCl4 is the limiting reactant.
