Fission and fusion are alike in many ways. However, one difference is

Chemistry

Annette [7]3 years ago

Explanation:

Fusion vs Fission

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium. Both reactions release energy which, in a power plant, would be used to boil water to drive a steam generator, thus producing electricity.

What mass of oxygen is needed to combust and produced 6.4 moles of carbon dioxide gas?
N76 [4]
You have already gotten the balanced equation. And the ratio of mol number of reactants and production is the ratio of coefficient. So there is 6.4/8*11=8.8 mol oxygen needed. The mass is 8.8*32=281.6 g.
