What changes occur in the nuclei of atoms involved in the reactions that fuel nuclear power plants?

Marina CMI [18]

Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:

1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.

2. Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.

3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will be radioactive particles produced.

Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.

Molybdenum (Mo) has a body centered cubic unit cell. The density of Mo is 10.28 g/cm3. Determine (a) the edge length of the unit

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

For a: The edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

For b: The radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the edge length for given density of metal, we use the equation:

$\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}$

where,

$\rho$ = density = $10.28g/cm^3$

Z = number of atom in unit cell = 2 (BCC)

M = atomic mass of metal (molybdenum) = 95.94 g/mol

$N_{A}$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

a = edge length of unit cell =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10.28=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times (a)^3}\\\\a^3=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times 10.28}=3.099\times 10^{-23}\\\\a=\sqrt[3]{3.099\times 10^{-23}}=3.14\times 10^{-8}cm=314pm$

Conversion factor used: $1cm=10^{10}pm$

Hence, the edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

For b:

To calculate the edge length, we use the relation between the radius and edge length for BCC lattice:

$R=\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}$

where,

R = radius of the lattice = ?

a = edge length = 314 pm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$R=\frac{\sqrt{3}\times 314}{4}=135.9pm$

Hence, the radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm

A steel cylinder of oxygen is being store in a room at 25.0 °C under a pressure of 1250 atm. What pressure would be exerted by t

Rudik [331]

Answer:

P₂ = 1312.88 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 25°C

Initial pressure = 1250 atm

Final temperature = 40°C

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273.15 = 298.15 K)

Final temperature = 40°C ( 40+273.15 = 313.15 k)

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

1250 atm / 298.15 K = P₂/313.15 K

P₂ = 1250 atm × 313.15 K / 298.15 K

P₂ = 391437.5 atm. K /298.15 K

P₂ = 1312.88 atm
