Answer:

Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei accompanied by energy release. ... The energy released by nuclear fission is considerable. For example, the fission of one kilogram of uranium releases as much energy as burning around four billion kilograms of coal

The reaction between nitrogen and oxygen is given below: 2 N2(g) + O2(g) 2 N2O(g) We therefore know that which of the following
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

  • a)  2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g)  + O₂(g)

Explanation:

Arrange the equations in the proper way for better understanding.

T<em>he reaction between nitrogen and oxygen is given below:</em>

<em />

  • <em>2N₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2N₂O(g)</em>

<em />

<em>We therefore know that which of the following reactions can also occur?</em>

<em />

  • <em>a)  2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g)  + O₂(g)</em>
  • <em>b)  N₂(g) + 2O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)</em>
  • <em>c)  2NO₂(g) → N₂(g) + 2O₂(g)</em>
  • <em>d) None of the Above</em>

<h2>Solution</h2>

Notice that the first equation,  a) 2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g)  + O₂(g), is the reverse of the original equation, 2N₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2N₂O(g).

The reactions in gaseous phase are reversible reactions that can be driven to one or other direction by modifying the conditions of temperature or pressure.

Thus, the equilibrium equation would be:

  • 2N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2N₂O(g)

Which shows that both the forward and the reverse reactions occur.

Whether one or the other are favored would depend on the temperature and pressure: high temperatures would favor the reaction that consumes more heat (the endothermic reaction) and high pressures would favor the reaction that consumes more moles.

Thus, by knowing that one of the reactions can occur you can conclude that the reverse reaction can also occur.

What does an atomic number represent in an atom? number of neutrons number of protons number of electrons number of protons and
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
