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 chemical reaction is shown below:
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Mass = 8.46 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water produced = ?

Mass of glucose = 20 g

Mass of oxygen = 15 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂     →   6H₂O + 6CO₂

Number of moles of glucose:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20 g/ 180.16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.11 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.47 mol

now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and glucose.

               C₆H₁₂O₆           :            H₂O

                   1                   :              6

                 0.11                :           6/1×0.11 = 0.66

                   O₂               :            H₂O

                   6                   :              6

                 0.47                :           0.47

Less number of moles of water are produced by oxygen thus it will limit the yield of water and act as limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.47 mol  ×18 g/mol

Mass = 8.46 g

Given that the molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol, what is the molarity of a solution that contains 87.75 g of NaCl in 500. mL of
Stells [14]

<u>Given information:</u>

Mass of NaCl (m) = 87.75 g

Volume of solution (V) = 500 ml = 0.5 L

Molar mass of NaCl (M) = 58.44 g/mol

<u>To determine:</u>

The molarity of NaCl solution

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute(n) dissolved per liter of solution (V)

i.e. M = moles of solute/liters of solution = n/V

Moles of solute (n) = mass of solute (m)/molar mass (M)

moles of NaCl = 87.75 g/58.55 g.mol-1 = 1.499 moles

Therefore,

Molarity of NaCl = 1.499 moles/0.5 L = 2.998 moles/lit ≅ 3 M

<u>Ans: (D)</u>

Which incorrect aspect of Rutherford’s model was fixed by Bohr’s model?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Some things that were wrong with Rutherford's model were that the orbiting electrons should give off energy and eventually spiral down into the nucleus, making the atom collapse. Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus. To remedy the stability problem, Bohr modified the Rutherford model by requiring that the electrons move in orbits of fixed size and energy.
