Explanation:
Exothermic reaction is defined as the reaction in which release of heat takes place. This also means that in an exothermic reaction, bond energies of reactants is less than the bond energies of products.
Hence, difference between the energies between the reactants and products releases as heat and therefore, enthalpy of the system will decrease.
Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is supplied from outside and absorbed by the reactant molecules. Hence, enthalpy of the system increases.
As water acts as a coolent and when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor are immersed in it then heat created by coolent is absorbed by water and then it changes into steam.
Since, absorption of heat occurs in the nuclear reactor. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. This process is endothermic.
I just did this last semester... I know this is wave height!!
Answer:
4 km/hr
Explanation:
suppose 's' is Diane's speed with no current.
't' represents time in hrs.
Using the formula:
Distance = speed 's' x time 't'
-> when she swims against the current, equation will be,
5= (s-2)t
t= 5/(s-2)
->when she was swimming with the current, equation is,
15= (s+2) t
t= 15/(s+2)
equating eq(1) and (2)
5/(s-2) = 15/(s+2)
5s + 10 = 15s - 30
40= 10s
s= 40/10
s=4
Therefore, if there were no current, her speed is 4km/hr
The answer is 30 ... same as the Atomic number.
