Answer:

In chemistry, a radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most organic radicals have short lifetimes.

How many O atoms are in 4C₆H₁₂O₆
ipn [44]

Number of O atoms : 24

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

C₆H₁₂O₆ compound

Required

Number of atoms

Solution

A molecular formula  shows the number of atomic elements in compound.  

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms

Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.

The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules

So number of O atoms :

= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms

Someone please explain how this works Which type of reaction occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor in a nuclear power plant?
Paul [167]

An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is the nuclear fission reaction given:

  • ²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

<h3>What is a nuclear reactor?</h3>

A nuclear reactor is a device which produces electrical energy as a result of the nuclear reactions that take place within it.

In a nuclear reactor, the reaction that takes place within the core is a nuclear fission chain reaction.

In a nuclear fission reaction, the nucleus of larger atoms are split into the nucleus of smaller atoms when fast moving neutrons are used to bombard the nucleus of the large atom. The fission of the nucleus of the large atom results in the formation of atoms of lighter nucleus as well as more protons which then bombard more nucleus of the large atoms resulting in a chain reaction.

The chain reaction occurring within the nuclear reactor core is controlled by the insertion of boron rods which absorbs the excess neutrons produced.

An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is given below:

²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

Mass box A = 10 grams; Mass box B = 5 grams; Mass box C—made of one A and one B How many boxes of B would be required to make 30
Iteru [2.4K]
Mass box C is 10+5. (So C is 15)

But if C was 30, how many times could you put B (5) into it?

30/5 = 6

You would need 6 boxes of B to make 30 grams of C.
