Suppose three neutrons are released when an atom in a sample of fissionable nuclei undergoes fission. Each of these neutrons has

enough energy to cause another fission reaction in another nucleus of the material. If the reaction is not controlled, how many atoms will have undergone fission after 2 more stages of the chain reaction?

Answer:

13 nuclei

Explanation:

From the question, the fission of one nucleus produces three neutrons which causes  more nuclei to undergo fission.

This implies that, after the first fission, three neutrons cause three nuclei to undergo fission. The three nuclei that underwent fission produces nine neutrons which causes the fission of nine nuclei.

All together we the number of nuclei that underwent fission as;

1 + 3 + 9 = 13 nuclei.

A sample of argon initially has a volume of 5.0 L and the pressure is 2 atm. If the final temperature is 30° C, the final volume
jenyasd209 [6]
Volume of Argon V1 = 5.0 L  
Pressure of Argon P1 = 2 atm 
Final temperature T2 = 30 C = 30 + 273 = 303 K 
Volume at final temperature V2= 6 L 
Pressure at final temperature P2 = 8 atm  
We know that (P1 x V1) / T1 = (P2 x V2) / T2  
(2 x 5)/ T1 = (8 x 6)/ 303 => T1 = (10 x 303) / 48 
Initial Temperature T1 = 3030 / 48 = 63.12 
Initial Temperature = -209. 8 C
