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.

What is the entropy change of the surroundings
KiRa [710]

Answer: The entropy change of the surroundings will be -17.7 J/K mol.

Explanation: The enthalpy of vapourization for 1 mole of acetone is 31.3 kJ/mol

Amount of Acetone given = 10.8 g

Number of moles is calculated by using the formula:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of acetone = 58 g/mol

Number of moles = \frac{10.8}{58}=0.1862moles

If 1 mole of acetone has 32.3 kJ/mol of enthalpy, then

0.1862 moles will have = \frac{32.3}{1}\times 0.1862=5.828kJ/mol

To calculate the entropy change for the system, we use the formula:

\Delta S_{sys}=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T(\text{ in K)}}

Temperature = 56.2°C = (273 + 56.2)K = 329.2K

Putting values in above equation, we get

\Delta S_{sys}=\frac{5.828}{329.2}=0.0177kJ/Kmol=17.7J/Kmol   (Conversion Factor: 1 kJ = 1000J)

At Boiling point, the liquid phase and gaseous phase of acetone are in equilibrium. Hence,

\Delta S_{system}+\Delta S_{surrounding}=0

\Delta S_{surrouding}=-\Delta S_{system}=-17.7J/Kmol
