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.

Reaction coordinates represent: A. The balanced equation for a chemical reaction. B. The change in pH for a chemical reaction. C

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

C. The potential energy change for a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The reaction coordinate q illustrates, graphically, the energy changes during exothermic and endothermic reactions. This graphical representation of the energy changes in the course of a chemical reaction is known as reaction coordinates. A reaction coordinate is a graphical sequence of steps by which the reaction progresses from reactants through activated complexes to products. Reaction coordinates explain how far a reaction has proceeded towards the products or from the reactants.

From the images attached below, we can see the reaction coordinates in the reaction profiles.

Question 19 (3 points)

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

c ) 29.4 psi

Explanation:

If the density of earth was twice than its actual density which is 5.51 g/mL, then at sea level the atmospheric pressure of earth in British units would be equal to 29.4 psi because increase of gravity, increase occurs in the atmospheric pressure. If we double the gravity of earth by double of the earth density, so the weight of that same mass of air will be double which leads to the doubling of the atmospheric pressure at the sea level.
