1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>
Answer:
1) Endothermic.
2) 
3) 
Explanation:
Hello there!
1) In this case, for these calorimetry problems, we can realize that since the temperature decreases the reaction is endothermic because it is absorbing heat from the solution, that is why the temperature goes from 22.00 °C to 16.0°C.
2) Now, for the total heat released by the reaction, we first need to assume that all of it is released by the solution since it is possible to assume that the calorimeter is perfectly isolated. In such a way, it is also valid to assume that the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/(g°C) as it is mostly water, therefore, the heat released by the reaction is:
3) Finally, since the enthalpy of reaction is calculated by dividing the heat released by the reaction over the moles of the solute, in this case NH4Cl, we proceed as follows:
