What is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?

Chemistry
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

[Fusion: Nuclei Fuse together and release energy]  [Fission: Pressure and energy is released. This release of energy, is what causes the unstable atom to split to an isotope. I hope this helps!]

[isotopes can split too. At least some.]

Explanation:

Imagine you are trying to push something heavy, fusion is how you can join together and help each other to push this heavy material.

Fun fact! Heavier materials have more inertia against other forces acting on them.

You push harder, harder and harder! Until its pushed.

This will release a lot of energy which escalates to an extended length.

It might not be the finest example, it helped me to understand the basics.

Fission. Imagine having so much energy, in this case, try thinking of so many people in a tight space. What do you do? You will eventually start to escape and leave the room. This is the act of splitting the atom.

This won't be the same than how it was before.

Again, Energy is released (energy!!).

For anyone struggling with this, although it might not be the best idea, I would recommend researching the more advaced options for this topic.

This will give you a wide range of information which can develop your current knowledge about, "Nuclear Fission and Fusion."

It will be difficult, it definitely was for me when I was a child (starting to study science).    

Just keep trying, you'll get it.

Answer: measure the mass (48.425g) of KCl

Explanation:

To prepare the solution 0.65M KCl we must measure the mass of KCl that would be dissolved in 1L of the solution. This can be achieved by:

Molar Mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

Number of mole (n) = 0.65

Mass conc of KCl = n x molar Mass

Mass conc of KCl = 0.65 x 74.5 = 48.425g

Therefore, to make 0.65M KCl, we must measure 48.425g

Question 7-Which of the following is not an acid-base neutralization reaction?
docker41 [41]

Answer:- It is choice D. H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4

Explanations:- In general, a neutralization reaction is the reaction of an acid with base to form salt and water.

in first reaction the reaction is taking place between ammonia(a base) and hydrochloric acid(an acid) to form their salt(ammonium chloride). So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In second reaction, sodium hydroxide(a base) is reacting with acetic acid(an acid) to form their salt(sodium acetate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In third reaction, Nitric acid is reacting with calcium hydroxide(a base) to form a salt(calcium nitrate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In fourth reaction, sulfuruc acid is reacting a sodium chloride(a salt) to give a double replacement reaction. It is not an acid-base neutralization reaction as it's not taking place between an acid and base.

So, the correct choice is D. H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4

Does the mass of water increase or decrease when it changes to ice
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The mass stays the same only volume changes, the volume decreases

Explanation:

The ice shrinks (decreases volume) and becomes more dense. The weight will not (and cannot) change.

What are three units you can measure moler mass in
liraira [26]

By looking at a periodic table, we can conclude that the molar mass of lithium is 6.94g, the molar mass of zinc is 65.38g, and the molar mass of gold is 196.97g. Each of these quantities contains 6.02×1023 atoms of that particular element. The units for molar mass are grams per mole, or g/mol.

So The answers are Lithium, Gold, Zinc

Hope This Helps

Oxygen gas is collected at a pressure of 123 kPa in a container which has a volume of 10.0L. What temperature must be maintained
Morgarella [4.7K]
Given:

P = 123 kPa
V = 10.0 L
n = 0.500 moles
T = ?

Assume that the gas ideally, thus, we can use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

123 kPa * 1 atm/101.325 kPa * 10.0 L = 0.500 moles * 0.0821 Latm/molK * T

solve for T 

T = 295.72 K<span />
