Answer: The true statement is C.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process of the splitting of the unstable heavy nucleus into the lighter nuclei. The huge amount of energy is produced during this process. Hydrogen bomb is the example of the nuclear fission.

Nuclear fusion is the process in which two lighter nuclei combine together to give a heavy nucleus and the tremendous amount of energy is released in this process. Nuclear fusion occurs in the Sun.

Therefore, both these processes can provide energy.

<h2>Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion - Option C</h2>

Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion both of these processes can provide energy. Nuclear fission is the process in which heavy nucleus splits into smaller parts. When they split into smaller particles then it releases energy.

On the other hand, nuclear fusion is the process in which small particles fuse together to form a heavy nucleus. With the formation of heavy nucleus, it also provides energy.

Therefore, both these processes release or provide energy.

2. Consider the reaction 2 Cg H18 (4) +250â (9) âº 16 co, (g) + 18 HâO(g) la How many moles of H20co) are produced, when |--16:1

Sladkaya [172]

Answer :

(a) The moles of water produced are 145.35 moles.

(b) The mass of oxygen needed are 3080.8 grams.

<u>Solution for part (a) : Given,</u>

Moles of $C_8H_{18}$ = 16.15 moles

First we have to calculate the moles of $H_2O$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react to give 18 moles of $H_2O$

So, 16.15 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react to give $\frac{16.15}{2}\times 18=145.35$ moles of $H_2O$

The moles of water produced are 145.35 moles.

<u>Solution for part (b) : Given,</u>

Mass of $C_8H_{18}$ = 878 g

Molar mass of $C_8H_{18}$ = 114 g/mole

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_8H_{18}$ .

$\text{ Moles of }C_8H_{18}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_8H_{18}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_8H_{18}}=\frac{878g}{114g/mole}=7.702moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $O_2$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react with 25 moles of $O_2$

So, 7.702 moles of $C_8H_{18}$ react with $\frac{7.702}{2}\times 25=96.275$ moles of $O_2$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $O_2$ .

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=\text{ Moles of }O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }O_2$

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=(96.275moles)\times (32g/mole)=3080.8g$

The mass of oxygen needed are 3080.8 grams.

Among the following options, a valid Lewis structure of __________ cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

d. IF3

Explanation:

The Octet rule posits that atoms gain, atom lose, or share electrons in order to have a full valence shell of 8 electrons. This statement occurs when atoms also combine to form molecules until they attain or share eight valence electrons either by losing or gaining eletrons.

From the given options, a valid Lewis structure that cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule is IF3
