In one kind of nuclear reaction, two nuclei fuse, or join together, to form a larger nucleus. This kind of reaction happens only

at very high pressures. Explain why such high pressures are necessary to cause these reactions to occur.

High pressures are necessary to create such reaction so that the particles will be able to overcome electrostatic repulsion. The particles that make up a particular atom are covered by shells of energy that react to different impulses like pressure. When particles are exposed to extreme environmental pressure it has the tendency to split its particles and undergo nuclear fusion successfully.

A sample compound contains 9.11 g Ni and 5.89g F. What is the empirical formula of this compound?
Alexxx [7]

The empirical formula of the compound is C. NiF₂.

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each element</em>

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Ni to F.

Moles of Ni = 9.11 g Ni × (1 mol Ni /(58.69 g Ni) = 0.1552 mol Ni

Moles of F = 5.89 g F × (1 mol F/19.00 g F) = 0.3100 mol F

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of the elements

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles

Ni:F = 0.1552:0.3100 = 1:1.997 ≈ 1:2

<em>Step 3</em>: Write the <em>empirical formula</em>

EF = NiF₂

1. The reaction below describes cellular respiration. Which compounds are the reactants and which are the
swat32

Answer:

C₆H₁₂O₆ and O₂ are reactant.

CO₂ and H₂O are products.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  →  6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Steps involve in anaerobic respiration are:

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It involve the breakdown of one glucose molecule into pyruvate and 2ATP.

Fermentation

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced, however carbon dioxide is released in this step.

1. Naturally occurring europium (Eu) consists of two isotopes was a mass of 151 and 153. Europium- 151 has an abundance of 48.03
sergejj [24]
The atomic mass of Europium is 152 amu

Work:
151(0.4803) = 72.52 amu
153(0.5197) = 79.5 amu
72.5 + 79.5 = 152 amu
