By definition, a plutonium 239 is a specific kind of nuclear isotope where it is known to have produced from transmutation of uranium in fuel rods. In addition, among it, main advantages would be that it has a significantly higher chance of being involved in a nuclear fission as compared to uranium.

The plutonium is considered to be advantageous. This can be explained considering the following reasons

a) It is an isotope of Plutonium which is radioactive and is being produced from uranium by its transmutation.

b) It is also can be considered as potential and important candidate of production of energy by its nuclear fission in comparison to Uranium

when 2.4 g zinc is added to hydrochloric acid, 450 ml of hydrogen gas form at a temperature of 32 C what is the pressure of the
Dovator [93]
First we need to find the number of moles of hydrogen gas formed
Zn + 2HCl ---> ZnCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of Zn to H₂ is 1:1
the number of Zn moles reacted - 2.4 g / 65.4 g/mol = 0.0367 mol
assuming Zn to be the limiting reactant 
number of Zn moles reacted = number of H₂ moles formed 
therefore number of H₂ moles formed = 0.0367 mol

we can use ideal gas law equation to find the pressure
PV = nRT
P - pressure
V - Volume - 450 x 10⁻⁶ m³
n - number of moles - 0.0367 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 32 °C + 273 = 305 K
substituting these values in the equation 
P x 450 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = 0.0367 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 305 K
P = 206.8 kPa 
pressure is 206.8 kPa

When wood burns, the mass of the ash is less than the mass of the original wood. Yet the law of conservation of matter says that
satela [25.4K]

Explanation:

According to the law of the conservation of mass, 'mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. The mass cannot be created nor be destroyed in a chemical process'.

This law holds true for the burning of wood also. Although the wood burns to produce ash which weighs less than wood but also, it produces some soot and other gases and the sum of the masses of all these is equal to the sum of the masses of wood and oxygen that reacted with it.
