What is a way in which nuclear fusion is used?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:It is a nuclear process, where energy is produced by smashing together light atoms. It is the opposite reaction of fission, where heavy isotopes are split apart.

Explanation Fusion is the process by which the sun and other stars generate light and heat.

It’s most easily achieved on Earth by combining two isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. Hydrogen is the lightest of all the elements, being made up of a single proton and a electron. Deuterium has an extra neutron in its nucleus; it can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H20 to make what is called “heavy water.”

What is the density of 0.50 grams of gaseous carbon stored under 1.5 atm of pressure at a temperature of -20.0 C?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: The density of 0.50 grams of gaseous carbon stored under 1.50 atm of pressure at a temperature of -20.0 °C is 0.867 g/L.

Explanation:

  • d = m/V, where d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.
  • We have the mass m = 0.50 g, so we must get the volume V.
  • To get the volume of a gas, we apply the general gas law PV = nRT

P is the pressure in atm (P = 1.5 atm)

V is the volume in L (V = ??? L)

n is the number of moles in mole, n = m/Atomic mass, n = 0.50/12.0 = 0.416 mole.

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K).

T is the temperature in K (T(K) = T(°C) + 273 = -20.0 + 273 = 253 K).

  • Then, V = nRT/P = (0.416 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(253 K) / (1.5 atm) = 0.576 L.
  • Now, we can obtain the density; d = m/V = (0.50 g) / (0.576 L) = 0.867 g/L.

Phosphorus has three electrons in its 3p sublevel and sulfur has four. Phosphorus should have the lower ionization energy but it
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

First of all it is important to know that a half filled orbital is particularly stable. In phosphorus all the electrons occur singly in the 3p sublevel minimizing inter electronic repulsion hence it is more difficult to remove an electron from this energetically stable arrangement. In sulphur, electrons are paired in one of the 3p orbitals thereby lowering the energy of that level due to instability caused by interelectronic repulsion between two electrons in the same orbital.

Draw the major product formed when the structure shown below undergoes substitution in ch3ch2oh with heat. (use a wavy bond (sin
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

The missing image is attached below.

The objective of this question is to draw the major product formed from the diagram attached below.

From the diagram attached, we will see the reaction of a tertiary alkyl halide together with a weak nucleophile (ch3ch2oh) undergoing a nucleophilic substitution (SN₁) mechanism to yield a racemic mixture(i.e., compound that is not optically active but contains an equal amount of dextrorotatory and levorotatory stereoisomers) as a product.

How does the brønsted-Lowry theory define acids and bases?
Leviafan [203]

They define acids as proton donors, and bases as proton acceptors

If you were to have:

HNO3 + H2O -> H3O+. + NO3-

You can see that the nitric acid (HNO3) gave a hydrogen ion which has 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 0 electrons to the water so we just say that it gave a proton.

Now let's see a base

NH3 + H2O -> NH4+ + OH-

Now, you can see that the ammonia (NH3) gained a hydrogen ion (proton) from the water to become ammonium(NH4). which means it accepted a proton

That's basically it. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions
