Why is it advantageous to produce plutonium -239

Chemistry
2 answers:
aleksley [76]3 years ago
6 0
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

If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 3.55 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be lethal? Assum
monitta

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 234.7 cans

Explanation:

data

caffeine concentration = 3.55 mg/oz

10.0 g of caffeine is lethal

there are 12 oz of caffeine in a can

Then

                    3.55 mg ----------------- 1 oz

                      x    mg  -----------------12 oz (in a can)

x = 42.6 mg of caffeine in a can

Convert it to grams 42,6 mg = 0.0426 g of caffeine in a can

Finally

            0.0426 g of caffeine ------------------  1 can

            10           g of caffeine -----------------    x

x = 10 x 1/0.0436 = 234.7 cans

Epsom salt, a common hydrate, has the formula shown below. If I measure out 125 g of epsom salt to add to my foot soak, what mas
tatiyna

Answer:

The answer to your question is 64.02 g of H₂O

Explanation:

Data

Mass of magnesium sulfate hepta hydrated = 125 g

Mass of water = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of the salt and the molar mass of water

molar mass of MgSO₄ 7H₂O = 24 + 32 + 64 + 14 + 112 = 246 g

mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18 g

2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of water in the epsom salt

                246 g MgSO₄ 7H₂O------------------------- 126 g of H₂O

                125 g                        -------------------------   x

                x = (125 x 126)/246

                x = 15750/246

               x = 64.02 g of H₂O

An element with the valence electron configuration 4s24p4 would form a monatomic ion with a charge of fill in the blank 5 . In o
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Charge= -2.

Gains two electron into the 4p^4 to become 4p^6.

Explanation:

The element in the periodic table/chart that matches with the valence electron configuration is Selenium with full electron configuration of [Ar] 3d^10 4s^2 4P^4 which is a non-metal that is found in group 4 of the periodic table/chart.

Selenium can receive 2 more electrons on the 4p^4 to give a -2(minus 2) ion that is Se^2-.

Selenium can also loose 2 electron from 4s^2 to give a +2 ion that is Se^2+.

Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 2 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^4+.

Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 4 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^6+.

Thus, in order to form a monatomic ion with a charge(we will be making use of the most stable one). Thus, it will gain two more electron since this is easier to become 4s^2 4p^6.

How is a molecule of hydrogen formed from two hydrogen atoms?
Shtirlitz [24]
A molecule of hydrogen is formed by two hydrogen atoms, that is a fact.

How does it work? When two atoms, known as "diatomic" pair with another in a bond known non-polar covalent bonds. Where they equally share electrons. A Hydrogen atoms needs 1 more electrons to fill its first shell fully and have a full valence shell. So if two H's share their electrons, they'll both have a full V-Shell!

That's the basics of both the H-H bond and all the other diatomic bonds as well.
