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 student puts 0.020 mol of methyl methanoate into an empty and rigid 1.0 L vessel at 450 K. The pressure is measured to be 0.74
stellarik [79]

Explanation:

Starting moles of ethanol acid = 0.020 mol

At the equilibrium 50 % of the ethanol acid molecules reacted

∴ Moles of ethanol acid reacted = 0.020 mol * 50 %/100 %

                                                                   = 0.010 mol

Moles of ethanol acid remain = 0.020 mol + 0.010 mol = 0.010 mol

Moles of the product (CH3COOH)^{2} gas formed are calculated as

0.010 mol CH3COOH * 1 mol (CH3COOH)^{2} / 2 mol CH3COOH

= 0.005 mol (CH3COOH)^{2}

Therefore at the equilibrium total moles of gas present in the vessel are 0.010 mol CH3COOH and 0.005 mol (CH3COOH)^{2}

That is total gas moles at equilibrium = 0.010 mol + 0.005 mol = 0.015 mol

Now Calculate the pressure  :

0.020 mol gas has pressure of 0.74 atm therefore at the same condition what will be the pressure exerted by 0.015 mol gas

P1/n1 = P2/n2

P2 = P1*n2 / n1

      = 0.74 atm * 0.015 mol / 0.020 mol

     = 0.555 atm

Is sugar ( in water) an example of an element or compound
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

A compound

Example:

Sugar contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Water (H2O) has two hydrogen atoms (H2) and one oxygen atom (O). So both sugar and water are chemical compounds. Together they are a mix of chemical compounds.
