Nuclear energy is released by the breaking and forming of nuclear bonds. The breaking of nuclear bonds by unstable atoms is known as nuclear fission. The forming of nuclear bonds by combination of light atoms is known as nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into lighter ones with the release of energy.
In nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of large amount of energy.

Predict (to 3 sig figs) the isochoric specific heat of gaseous SF6 (molar mass 146.06 g/mol) at 1200 K, assuming that at this te

bazaltina [42]

Explanation:

As it is known that $SF_{6}$ molecule is a non-linear molecule. Therefore, its isochoric heat capacity will be as follows.

$C_{v} = \frac{3}{2}R + \frac{3}{2}R + (3 \times 7 - 6)R$

= $\frac{3}{2}R + \frac{3}{2}R + 15R$

= 18 R

Also, $C_{V} = M \times C_{v}$

where, $C_{V}$ = molar heat capacity

M = molecular mass

$C_{v}$ = specific heat

Hence, calculate the value of $C_{v}$ as follows.

$C_{V} = M \times C_{v}$

$8 \times 8.314 \times 10^{7} = 146.06 \times C_{v}$

$C_{v} = 10.2 \times 10^{6} erg. K^{-1}. gm^{-1}$

This means that value of isochoric specific heat is $10.2 \times 10^{6} erg. K^{-1}. gm^{-1}$ .

Yes, we have to assume ideal gas behavior because for ideal gas:

dU = $nC_{v}dT$

Whereas for real gases " $\frac{an^{2}}{V^{2}}$ " has to be added here.

Use an example how natural selection can lead to evolution

Eddi Din [679]

Natural selection leads to evolutionary change when individuals with certain characteristics have a greater survival or reproductive rate than other individuals in a population and pass on these inheritable genetic characteristics to their offspring.
