<h3>
Answer:</h3>
pH = 5
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Concentration of a solution HI as 0.00001 M
We are required to calculate the pH of Hydronium ions.
- When the acid dissociates in water to;
HI + H₂O → H₃O⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)
- The concentration of H₃O⁺ ions is 0.00001 M\
- We need to know that pH = -log[H₃O⁺]
Therefore;
pH =-log 0.00001 M
= 5
Thus, the pH of the hydronium ions is 5
Answer:
1. Nuclear fusion does not generate radioactive nuclear wastes as nuclear fission does.
2. Nuclear fusion cannot lead to disastrous powerplant explosions as nuclear fission does.
3. More energy is generated during nuclear fusion than in nuclear fission.
Explanation:
Nuclear fusion involves the combination of lighter atoms such as hydrogen to form a heavier nucleus, in the process producing a tremendous amount of energy.
Nuclear fission on the other hand involves splitting a heavy nucleus into two lighter nuclei, releasing energy in the process.
- Nuclear fusion can be more reliable than nuclear fission in energy generation due to the following reasons:
- There are no radioactive waste products obtained as a result of nuclear fusion, unlike nuclear fission. This is because the elements involved in Nuclear fusion are relatively radioactively stable elements.
- The risk of nuclear powerplant explosion due to out of control chain reactions is reduced in nuclear fusion because the reaction can only occur in perfect conditions under high pressure and temperatures <em>(e.g the sun)</em>. When any of these conditions is removed due to a fault, the reaction automatically stops.
- More energy is generated during nuclear fusion than in nuclear fission.
Answer:
The base unit for time is the second (the other SI units are: metre for length, kilogram for mass, ampere for electric current, kelvin for temperature, candela for luminous intensity, and mole for the amount of substance). The second can be abbreviated as s or sec.
