Answer:

Nuclear fission is described as a phenomenon that causes an atom to dissociate into smaller atoms, during the split energy is produced.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission can be used as a source of power generation by nuclear plants, but does possess environmental concerns.

The characteristic flame test colors of metal ions are due to atomic emission spectra. Duscuss the relationship between the abso
vesna_86 [32]

The characteristics flame test color of metal ions are because of the atomic emission spectra.  

When an atom absorbs a particular wavelength radiation, the electrons within it, move from lower energy level to the higher level of energy. Such a procedure is called absorption. When this stimulated electron to come back to its ground state, it loses energy in particular color on the basis of the frequency of the absorbed radiation. Such a procedure is called emission.  

As an atom exhibit, distinct levels of energy, the level close to the nucleus possess less energy in comparison to the level, which is far from the nucleus. So, electrons move from lower energy level to the higher level by attaining particular energy, and after excitation, it comes back from high energy level to a low energy level with the emission of light.  

According to Planck's concept, there is a specific difference of energy between the two energy level, so such energy difference is quantized. Only those radiation are absorbed, which are equivalent to the difference of energy between the two levels.

13. Mercury has one of the lowest heat capacities. If 257J of heat are added to 5500g of mercury,the mercury's temp will increas
NikAS [45]

Given:

257J of heat

5500g of mercury

increase by 5.5 degrees Celsius

Required:

Specific heat of mercury

Solution:

H = mCpT

257J = (5500g of mercury) Cp (5.5 degrees Celsius)

Cp = 8.5 x 10^-3 Joules per gram per degree Celsius

3. Write DISSOCIATION or IONIZATION equations for the following chemicals:
Romashka [77]

Answer:

a) HNO3 -> H+ + NO3- disassociation of Nitric Acid; to yield a Nitrate ion and a Proton, H+, or as a Hydronium ion H3O+

b) H2S04 -> Disassociation of Sulfuric Acid; simple way- 2H+ + SO4- -

c) H2S hydrogen sulphide in water is an acid; thus H+ HS- disassociation.

d) NaOH -> dissociation of Na+ + OH-; this is complete; sodium hydroxide is deliquescent, meaning it will draw water - EVEN from the air! Strong Base

e) Na2CO3 -> 2Na+ CO3- - Ionization of sodium carbonate - a salt

f) Na2S04 -> 2Na+ + SO4 - - ionization of sodium sulphate - a salt

g) NaCl​ -> Na+ + Cl- ionization of the salt, Sodium Chloride

Explanation:

Salts ionize at different rates; acids or bases dissociate; these are mostly strong acids and NaOH, a strong base.
