Answer:

in nuclear fission, an unstable atom splits into 2 or more smaller pieces that are more stable and releases energy in the process. the fission process also releases extra neutrons which can split additional atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that releases a lot of energy

Answer:

9.2

Explanation:

Let's do an equilibrium chart of this reaction:

2NO(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO₂(g)

4.9 atm 5.1 atm 0 Initial

-2x -x +2x Reacts (stoichiometry is 2:1:2)

4.9-2x 5.1-x 2x Equilibrium

The mole fraction of NO₂ (y) can be calculated by the Raoult's law, that states that the mole fraction is the partial pressure divided by the total pressure:

y = 2x/(4.9 - 2x + 5.1 -x + 2x)

0.52 = 2x/(10 - x)

2x = 5.2 -0.52x

2.52x = 5.2

x = 2.06 atm

Thus, the partial pressure at equilibrium are:

pNO = 4.9 -2*2.06 = 0.78 atm

pO₂ = 5.1 - 2.06 = 3.04 atm

pNO₂ = 2*2.06 = 4.12 atm

Thus, the pressure equilibrium constant Kp is:

Kp = [(pNO₂)²]/[(pNO)²*(pO₂)]

Kp = [(4.12)²]/[(0.78)²*3.04]

Kp = [16.9744]/[1.849536]

Kp = 9.2

If the temperature is 80° outside does the air transfer more or less thermal energy to a thermometer then if it is 60°

kati45 [8]

Less, because thermal energy is heat so if it gets colder there is less thermal energy.

• Draw lewis dot structures for an atom of each of following elements:

marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures represent the symbol of an atom we're looking at and the number of valence electrons it has. This number is represented by the sum of dots around the symbol.

Potassium is in group 1A, this means it only has one valence electron, so we draw K with one dot in its Lewis diagram;
Argon is in group 8A, this means it has eight valence electrons, so we draw Ar with 8 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Silicon is in group 4A, this means it has four valence electrons, so we draw Si with 4 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Arsenic is in group 5A, this means it has five valence electrons, so we draw As with 5 dots around it in its Lewis diagram.

Those are represented in the image attached below:
