What changes occur in the nuclei of atoms involved in the reactions that fuel nuclear power plants?
Marina CMI [18]
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:

1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.

2.  Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.

3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will  be radioactive particles produced.

Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.

During the chemical reaction given below 21.71 grams of each reagent were allowed to react. Determine how many grams of the exce
swat32

Answer: 16.32 g of O_2 as excess reagent are left.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} SO_2=\frac{21.71g}{64g/mol}=0.34mol

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{21.71g}{32g/mol}=0.68mol

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of SO_2 require = 1 mole of O_2

Thus 0.34 moles of SO_2 will require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.34=0.17moles  of O_2

Thus SO_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and O_2 is the excess reagent.

Moles of O_2 left = (0.68-0.17) mol = 0.51 mol

Mass of O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.51moles\times 32g/mol=16.32g

Thus 16.32 g of O_2 as excess reagent are left.

The freezing point of ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is -117.300 °C at 1 atmosphere. Kf(ethanol) = 1.99 °C/m
MAXImum [283]

Answer : The molecular weight of this compound is 891.10 g/mol

Explanation :  Given,

Mass of compound = 12.70 g

Mass of ethanol = 216.5 g

Formula used :  

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T_f^o-T_f=i\times T_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of compound}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of compound}\times \text{Mass of ethanol}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

T_f^o = temperature of pure ethanol = -117.300^oC

T_f = temperature of solution = -117.431^oC

K_f = freezing point constant of ethanol = 1.99^oC/m

i = van't hoff factor = 1   (for non-electrolyte)

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

(-117.300)-(-117.431)=1\times 1.99^oC/m\times \frac{12.70g\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of compound}\times 216.5g}

\text{Molar mass of compound}=891.10g/mol

Therefore, the molecular weight of this compound is 891.10 g/mol

7. Which of the following would lower the pitch of a string instrument's sound?
vfiekz [6]

The correct option is C.

The pitch of a string refers to the quality of sound that is produced by the string when it vibrates. There are three basic factors that affect the quality of pitch of a string, these are: the tension, the thickness of the string and the length of the string. The higher the thickness of the string, the lower the pitch of the string, thus, increasing the thickness of the string will lower the pitch.

The electron cloud model describes which of the following?
HACTEHA [7]
1) The trails left by an electron as it moves around the nucleus
The electron model dictates that the electrons have no fixed position so it traces their path.
2) 8
Atomic number is equivalent to proton number
3) Its mass is lowered, but it is still the same element.
The element's identity is due to the number of protons; however, neutrons play a large role in an atom's mass. Thus, the mass will decrease but the element will be the same. Such variants are called isotopes.
