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.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

-21 kJ·mol⁻¹  

Explanation:

Data:

                    H₃O⁺ +  OH⁻ ⟶ 2H₂O

       V/mL:    50         50  

c/mol·dm⁻³:   1.0         1.0

     

ΔT = 4.5 °C  

       C = 4.184 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹

C_cal = 50 J·°C⁻¹

Calculations:

(a) Moles of acid

\text{Moles of acid} = \text{0.050 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{0.050 mol}\\\\\text{Moles of base} = \text{0.050 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{0.050 mol}

So, we have 0.050 mol of reaction

(b) Volume of solution

V = 50 dm³ + 50 dm³ = 100 dm³

(c) Mass of solution

\text{Mass of solution} = \text{100 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.00 g}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{100 g}

(d) Calorimetry

There are three energy flows in this reaction.

q₁ = heat from reaction

q₂ = heat to warm the water

q₃ = heat to warm the calorimeter

q₁ + q₂ + q₃ = 0

     nΔH   +         mCΔT       + C_calΔT = 0

0.050ΔH + 100×4.184×4.5 +   50×4.5  = 0

0.050ΔH +          1883        +      225    = 0

                                  0.050ΔH + 2108 = 0

                                              0.050ΔH = -2108

                                                        ΔH = -2108/0.0500

                                                              = -42 000 J/mol

                                                              = -42 kJ/mol

This is the heat of reaction for the formation of 2 mol of water

The heat of reaction for the formation of mol of water is -21 kJ·mol⁻¹.

Three reasons for air is mixture and water is compound
zhannawk [14.2K]
1. air components change from place to place, while water will just stay the same

2. Water doesn't have nor show individual properties, but air does show that it has it's own property

3. You can separate different gases from air physically, but with water you must pass electricity through it.

Don't take my word for it, this is just what I learned back in middle school.

How many grams of a 32.9% potassium sulfate solution would contain 181.6 g potassium
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

grams of solution = 551.98 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of solution = 32.9

Mass of solute = 181.6 g

Grams of solvent = ?

Solution:

Formula:

%  = [grams of solute / grams of solution] × 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

32.9 = [ 181.6 g / grams of solution] × 100

grams of solution = 181.6 g × 100 / 32.9

grams of solution = 18160 g /32.9

grams of solution = 551.98 g
