What two forces act in the nucleus to create a 'nuclear tug-of-war'?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Electrostatic repulsion, strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. protons are positively charged while neutrons possess no charge.

Since protons are positively charged, they repel each other strongly (like charges repel). This strong repulsion of like charges makes the nucleus somewhat unstable leading to spontaneous fission of heavy nuclei.

However, an opposing force called nuclear attractive force tends to hold the nucleons together. This attraction occurs when two nucleons are bonded by a particle called a π meson.

Hence, the two forces that act in the nucleus to create a  'nuclear tug-of-war' are electrostatic repulsion and a strong nuclear force.

How many moles of H2O are needed to produce 5.6 mol of NaOH?<br> Na2O + H2O --&gt; 2NaOH
navik [9.2K]

Answer: 2.8 moles

Explanation:

The balanced equation below shows that 1 mole of sodium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to form 2 moles of sodium hydroxide respectively.

Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH

1 mole of H2O = 2 moles of NaOH

Let Z moles of H2O = 5.6 mole of NaOH

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

5.6 moles x 1 mole= Z x 2 moles

5.6 = 2Z

Divide both sides by 2

5.6/2 = 2Z/2

2.8 = Z

Thus, 2.8moles of H2O are needed to produce 5.6 mol of NaOH
