If one neutron initiates a fission event that produces two neutrons in the products, how many new reactions can now be initiated

? 9 If each of the neutrons produced in the first fission event then initiates a fission event that produces one neutron in the products, how many new reactions can now be initiated by each neutron? How many neutrons in total were produced by the two fission events described?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

A fission reaction is a chain reaction. The neutrons that are produced in one reaction leads to further chain reaction in the system.

If one neutron initiates fission that leads to the production of two other neutrons,two more new reactions are initiated.

If these reactions each produce one neutron, then another two new reactions are initiated. This makes a total of four new reactions from the two fission events described.

A total of four neutrons is produced from the two fission events.

What is total distance traveled? <br>What is the displacement (change in positions) ​
erastova [34]

Answer:

Exercise 1

a)  140 m

b)  100 m

c)  180 m

d) 140 m

Exercise 2

a) 20 yards

b) 30 yards

c) 20 yards

d) 55 yards

Exercise 3

a)  11 Kilometers

b) 7 Kilometers

Explanation:

Exercise 1

Distance from B to C = 140 m

Distance from  to D = 100 m

Total distance = 100+40+40 = 180 m

Total displacement i.e. distance between A and D is 140 m

Exercise 2

a) Distance from B to C = 35 -15 = 20 yards

b) Distance from C to D  = 5 + 35  = 30 yards

c) Distance from B to D = 5 + 15 = 20 yards

d) Displacement = 5 + 50 = 55 yards

Exercise 3

a) The total distance travelled = 5 + 2 + 4 = 11 Kilometers

b) Displacement = 5-2 + 4 = 7 Kilometers

From which sublevel are electrons removed when a zn atom in the ground state is oxidized?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

4s2

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of zinc in the ground state of the atom is 1s22s22p6 3s23p63d104s2. It can be written in a condensed form by showing the inert gas core as follows; [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s².

Zinc has a pseudo inert gas configuration when the 4s electrons are removed during oxidation. Hence this sublevel is usually affected when zinc atoms are oxidized according to the scheme;

Zn---->Zn^2+ + 2e-

Potassium forms ions with a charge of +1 (K+). Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. Selenium forms ions with a charge of -2 (S
Taya2010 [7]

It is given that the charge on potassium is +1 i.e. Potassium is a cation, K⁺

The charge on selenium is given as -2, i.e. selenium is an anion, Se²⁻

The two ions are shown to combine to form a molecule: KXSeY where X and Y correspond to the proportions in which the two atoms combine.

Since the molecule is neutral, the positive and negative charges need to be balanced. This is possible only if 2 units of K⁺ combines with 1 unit of Se²⁻.

Therefore, the formula would be K₂Se

X = 2 and Y = 1

Calculate the volume of 4.00 molar NaOH solution required to prepare 100 mL of a 0.500 molar solution of NaOH.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V₁ = 12.5 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume = V₁?

[NaOH] = C₁ = 4.0 M

Volume 2 = V₂ = 100 ml

[NaOH] = C₂ = 0.5 M

Formula of dilution

                             V₁C₁   =  V₂C₂

Solve for V₁ (original solution)

                                 V₁ = \frac{V2C2}{C1}

Substitution

                                V₁ = \frac{(0.5)(100)}{4}

Simplification

                                V₁ = \frac{50}{4}

Result

                                V₁ = 12.5 ml
