Answer: fission

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

4_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+2_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

Thus if a heavier nuclei is converted into two smaller nuclei, this is a nuclear fission reaction.

19. What is the most significant factor that controls the development of soil?
Nady [450]
<span>The most significant factor that controls the development of soil is B. climate. Depending on what the climate and the weather are like in a particular area, the soil will be either developed and healthy and fertile, or it won't if the conditions are too harsh. If the weather is nice, usually the soil will form which will be suitable for crops and agriculture, but if it's too hot or too cold, the soil won't be used for such things as it won't be fertile.</span>

50 mL of 2.2 M HCl is combined with 50 mL of 2.0 M NaOH in a coffee-cup
GaryK [48]

Answer:

-56.1kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction between HCl and NaOH is:

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O + ΔH

<em>Where ΔH is heat change in  the reaction.</em>

<em />

As the temperature of the solution increases, the heat is released and ΔH < 0

The heat released in the reaction is obtained using coffe-cup calorimeter equation:

Q = C×m×ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat</em>

<em>C is specific heat of the solution (4.184J/g°C)</em>

<em>m is mass of solution: Assuming density = 1g/mL, 100mL of solution = 100g</em>

<em>And ΔT is change in temperature (13.4°C)</em>

<em />

Replacing:

Q = C×m×ΔT

Q = -4.184J/g°C×100g×13.4

Q = -5606.6J

Now, in the reaction you have:

<em>Moles HCl:</em>

0.050L * (2.2mol/L) = 0.11 moles

<em>Moles NaOH:</em>

0.050L * (2.0mol/L) = 0.1 moles

That means the moles of reaction are 0.1 moles, and heat change in the chemical reaction is:

5606.6J / 0.1 mol = 56066J =

<h3>-56.1kJ/mol</h3>

What would the products be when aluminum chloride (which contains Al3+ and Cl- ions) is melted and electrolyzed? Write half equa
Hoochie [10]

The product of electrolysis : Al at cathode and Cl₂(chlorine) at anode

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Aluminum chloride compound

Required

The product of electrolysis

Solution

The rule :

The reaction at the cathode(the negative pole) :

1. the reduced active metal is water, other than that the metal will be reduced

2. H⁺ of the acid will be reduced

The reaction at the anode((the positive pole) :

1. if the electrodes are not inert then the metal is oxidized

2. If inert then:

a. OH⁻ from the base will be oxidized

b. The halogen metal will oxidize

In the electrolysis of molten AlCl₃ with an inert electrode, the cation will be reduced at the cathode and the anion will be oxidized at the anode

Cathode : Al³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⇒ Al(s)

Anode : 2Cl⁻⇒Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻
