Answer:

Uranium are being used as nuclear fuel as it easily split away the atoms.

Explanation:

Uranium are generally used as fuel for nuclear fission reaction in the nuclear power plants. They use U-235 as fuel, as it can split away the atoms easily. Other than silver, uranium is more common but its availability is very low.i.e. only 0.7%. when U-235 absorbs neutron, it undergoes nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus gets splitted over two or even more lighter nuclei, along with release of kinetic energy, gamma rays and also some free electrons.

How many atoms are there in 0.57 mol of Zn

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

3.43 * 10^23 atoms of zinc

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's law, one mole of a substance contains a certain number of atoms of the substance commonly referred to as the Avogadro's number.

We already know from Avogadro's law that;

1 mole of zinc contains 6.02 * 10^23 atoms of zinc

Therefore;

0.57 mole of zinc will contain 0.57 * 6.02 * 10^23/1

which gives us 3.43 * 10^23 atoms of zinc
