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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Annette [7]2 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.

Write a balanced chemical equation describing the oxidation of the bromide ion by solid xenon trioxide to produce bromine liquid
ki77a [65]

Answer:

6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O  

Explanation:

First, we need to write the half-reactions:

2Br⁻ → Br₂ + 2e⁻ Oxidation -Balanced yet-

XeO₃ →  Xe Reduction

To balance the reduction in acidic aqueous solution we need to add waters in the other side of the reaction as oxygens are present:

XeO₃ →  Xe + 3H₂O

And H⁺ as hydrogens from water we have:

XeO₃ + 6H⁺ →  Xe + 3H₂O

To balance the charge:

<h3>XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ →  Xe + 3H₂O  Reduction -Balanced-</h3><h3 />

To cancel out the electrons of both half-reaction we need to multiply oxidation 3 times:

6Br⁻ → 3Br₂ + 6e⁻

XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ →  Xe + 3H₂O  

And the balanced reaction in acidic aqueous solution is the sum of both half-reactions:

<h3>6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O  </h3>

Which of the following salts will be less soluble in 0.10 M NaCl than it is in pure water?
MariettaO [177]

The less soluble salt : PbCl₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.1 M NaCl

Required

The less soluble salt

Solution

If we see from the answer option, the salt that is more difficult to dissolve in NaCl is PbCl₂ because it has the same ion (Cl)

When PbCl₂ is dissolved in water, ionization will occur

PbCl₂ ⇒ Pb²⁺+ 2Cl⁻

So, when dissolved in NaCl, NaCl itself will be ionized

NaCl ⇒ Na⁺ + Cl⁻

Based on the principle of equilibrium, the addition of an ion (one of the ions is enlarged), the reaction will shift towards the ion that was not added. In addition to this Cl ion, the reaction will shift to the left so that the solubility of PbCl₂ will decrease (the reaction to the right decreases)

On which part of the carbon cycle have humans had the greatest impact? storage of co2 in the oceans all of the answer options ha
yarga [219]
Hello!

The part of the carbon cycle where humans had the greatest impact is the return of CO₂ to the atmosphere by burning of ancient organic matter.

The ancient organic matter is also called Fossil Fuels. Some Fossil Fuels are Petroleum and Coal. Fossil Fuels are used to power our society and are burned to provide energy for power plants and vehicles, and by burning them, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is produced, increasing the natural concentration of this compound in the atmosphere.

Have a nice day!
