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.

You have 4 moles of oxygen gas in a flask. 4 moles of helium gas is added. What happens to the total pressure of the gases in th
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.

Solution:

Initially,  only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times X_{O_2}  (X_{O_2}=\frac{4}{4}) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times 1=Tp_1....(1)

Tp_1= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.

Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:

X'_{O_2}=\frac{4}{8}=\farc{1}{2},X_{He}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :

Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.

p_{O_2}=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

Tp_2= Total pressure of the mixture.

from (1)

Tp_1=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

On rearranging, we get:

Tp_2=2\times Tp_1

The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.

Answer:

(1) breaking a pencil (2) rusting of iron

Explanation:

breaking a pencil does not alter the chemical properties of the pencil, it merely breaks it into 2 while the rusting of iron is changing the properties chemically because the iron is oxidizing and reacting with the water and oxygen in the atmosphere
