T<span>he charges themselves may not move fast, but the force upon them does. The electric field set up by the battery or generator propagates through the wires at the speed of light.

Modeling Nuclear Processes Quick Check
Valentin [98]

The phrase which best describes nuclear fusion is: A. the process by which small nuclei combine into a larger nucleus.

A nuclear reaction can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which the nucleus of an atom of a radioactive chemical element is transformed by either being joined (fusion) or split (fission) with the nucleus of another atom of a radioactive chemical element and accompanied by a release of energy.

Generally, there are two (2) main types of nuclear reaction and these include:

  • <u>Nuclear fission:</u> it involves the collision of a heavy atomic nucleus with a neutron, thereby causing a split and release of energy.
  • <u>Nuclear fusion:</u> it involves the joining of two smaller nuclei of atoms to form a single massive or heavier (larger) nucleus with the release of energy.

In conclusion, nuclear fusion is best described as the process by which small nuclei combine into a larger nucleus, accompanied by a release of energy.

Calculate the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form in his solution. Express your answer as a percentage. You
Sliva [168]

Answer:

0.11%

Explanation:

Without mincing words, let us dive straight into the solution to the question/problem. The first step to solve this question is to write out the chemical reaction, that is the reaction showing the dissociation of acetic acid.

CH3COOH <=======================================> CH3COO⁻ + H⁺

Initially, the amount present in the acetic acid which is = 12M, the concentration for CH3COO⁻  and H⁺ is 0 respectively.

At equilibrium, the amount present in the acetic acid which is = 12 - x, the concentration for CH3COO⁻ = x  and H⁺ = x respectively. Note that the ka for acetic acid = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵.

1.8 × 10⁻⁵ = x²/ 14 - x. Therefore, x = 0.0158 M.

The next thing to do is to calculate for the percentage of dissociation, this can be done as given below:

percentage of dissociation = x/14 × 100. Recall that the value that we got for x = 0.0158 M. Hence, the percentage of dissociation = 0.0158 M/ 14m × 100 = 0.11%
