1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>
Answer: 0.8M
Explanation:
Given that,
Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = ?
Mass of NaCl in grams = 1.40 g
For molar mass of NaCl, use the molar masses:
Sodium, Na = 23g;
Chlorine, Cl = 35.5g
NaCl = (23g + 35.5g)
= 58.5g/mol
Since, amount of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
n = 1.40g / 58.5g/mol
n = 0.024 mole
Now, given that:
Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = 0.024
Volume of NaCl solution (v) = 30.0mL
[Convert 30.0mL to liters
If 1000 mL = 1L
30.0mL = 30.0/1000 = 0.03L]
Concentration of NaCl solution (c) = ?
Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence
c = n / v
c = 0.024 mole / 0.03 L
c = 0.8 M (0.8M means concentration is in moles per litres)
Thus, the concentration of the solution is 0.8M
Aluminum
Bauxite ore is the world's primary source of aluminum. The ore must first be chemically processed to produce alumina (aluminum oxide). Alumina is then smelted using an electrolysis process to produce pure aluminum metal. Bauxite is typically found in topsoil located in various tropical and subtropical regions.

Number of Atoms 45
Explanation:
Answer:
- Elimination
- Elimination
- Zaitsev
- Zaitsev
- Carbocation
Explanation:
- The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
- The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
- The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION
Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism
Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds
