Who’s is a difference between the focus of a nuclear engineer and the job of a nuclear scientist

1 answer:

4 0

The primary difference between them is what they work with and what their goals are. Chemical engineers research and design production processes for things like food or gasoline while nuclear engineers focus on ways to harness and use radiation and nuclear energy.

7. Which of the following changes could be associated with either a chemical change OR a

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a: chemical change because the change cannot be reversed.

b: physical change because the action can be reversed.

c: chemical change.

d:chemical change.

any change that cannot be reversed is a chemical change and any change that can be reversed is a physical change.

The number of nucleons in an atom is the atom's (atomic, mass) number.

ELEN [110]

The number of neutrons in an atom is the number of particles present in its nucleus.
The atomic number is the number of protons whereas the mass number is the number of protons and number of neutrons together
This implies that the number of neutrons is the atom's mass number

Which best explains why the trend in noble gas boiling points increases down the group?A) increasing dispersion interactions B)

zhenek [66]

Answer:

A) increasing dispersion interactions

Explanation:

Polarizability allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (for example, to condense. In these gases, the most important kind of interaction produces dispersion forces, attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.

Dispersion forces, which are also called London forces, usually increase with molar mass because molecules with larger molar mass tend to have more electrons, and dispersion forces increase in strength with the number of electrons. Furthermore, larger molar mass often means a bigger atom whose electron distribution is more easily disturbed because the outer electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei.

Because the noble gases are all nonpolar molecules, the only attractive intermolecular forces present are the dispersion forces.

The standard enthalpy change for the following reaction is 873 kJ at 298 K.

Flura [38]

Answer: - 436.5 kJ.

Explanation:

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation.

The given chemical reaction is,

$2KCl(s)\rightarrow 2K(s)+Cl_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=873kJ$

Now we have to determine the value of $\Delta H$ for the following reaction i.e,

$K(s)+\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow KCl(s)$ $\Delta H_2=?$

According to the Hess’s law, if we divide the reaction by half then the $\Delta H$ will also get halved and on reversing the reaction , the sign of enthlapy changes.

So, the value $\Delta H_2$ for the reaction will be:

$\Delta H_2=\frac{1}{2}\times (-873kJ)$

$\Delta H_2=-436.5kJ$

Hence, the value of $\Delta H_2$ for the reaction is -436.5 kJ.
