Answer:

Chain reaction

Explanation:

A chain reaction is a reaction that sustains itself. It has the ability to continue for a very long time without adding any more materials to the reaction system. It may be succinctly described as a self propagating reaction.

In a nuclear fission, uranium-235 is bombarded with neutrons to produce unstable uranium-236 which disintegrates to form daughter nuclei and produce more neutrons that bombard more uranium-235 and the reaction continues indefinitely.

Marat540 [252]

Answer : The structure of $XeH_4$ will be square-planar.

Explanation :

In the given molecule $XeH_4$ , 'Xe' is the central atom and 'H' is the terminal atom.

Xenon has 8 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons are 8 + 4(1) = 12 electrons.

The number of electrons used in Xe-H bonding = 8 electrons

The remaining electrons which are used as lone pair on central atom (Xe) = 12 - 8 = 4 electrons

There are 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, they will be arranged in the octahedral arrangement around the central atom with 2 lone pairs of electrons on central atom. The lone pairs are arranged linearly across the central atom. The resulting structure will be square-planar.

The structure of $XeH_4$ is shown below.

Assume a gasoline is isooctane, which has a density of 0.692 g/ml. What is the mass of 3.8 gal of the gasoline (1 gal = 3.78 l)?

sveticcg [70]

Density is the ratio of mass to the volume.

The mathematical expression is given as:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Now, density of isooctane = $0.692 g/mL$

Volume = $3.8 gal$

Since, 1 gallon = 3.78 L

So, 3.8 gal = $3.78 L\times 3.8$

= $14.364 L$

As, 1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore, $14.364 L$ = $14.364 L\times 1000 mL$

Volume in mL = $14364 mL$

Put the values,

$0.692 g/mL=\frac{mass}{14364 mL}$

$m = 0.692 g/mL\times 14364 mL$

= $9939.888 g$

Hence, mass of 3.8 gal of the gasoline is $9939.888 g$ .

What volume would 3.01•1023 molecules of oxygen gas occupy at STP?

Sliva [168]

First, find moles of oxygen gas: (3.01 x10^23 molec.)/(6.02 x10^23) =0.5mol O2

Second, multiply moles by the standard molar volume of a gas at STP:(0.5mol)(22.4L) = 11.2L O2
