What do you mean by chain reaction​

Chemistry
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]2 years ago

Answer:

A chain reaction refers to a process in which neutrons released in fission produce an additional fission in at least one further nucleus. This nucleus in turn produces neutrons, and the process repeats.

Explanation:

Consider a transition of the electron in the hydrogen atom from n=3 to n=7.
kow [346]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The wavelength of light is 1.005\times 10^{-6}m

<u>For b:</u> The light is getting absorbed

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For a:</u>

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}

n_f = Higher energy level = 7

n_i= Lower energy level = 3

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{7^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =1.005\times 10^{-6}m

Hence, the wavelength of light is 1.005\times 10^{-6}m

  • <u>For b:</u>

There are two ways in which electrons can transition between energy levels:

  1. <u>Absorption spectra:</u> This type of spectra is seen when an electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level. In this process, energy is absorbed.
  2. <u>Emission spectra:</u> This type of spectra is seen when an electron jumps from higher energy level to lower energy level. In this process, energy is released in the form of photons.

As, the electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level. The wavelength is getting absorbed.

What is the Net Ionic equation for this chemical reaction: FeBr2+Na2S=FeS+2NaBr​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Fe<em>(aq)</em>+S<em>(aq)</em>=FeS<em>(s)</em>

Explanation: The Sodium and Bromine are spectator ions because they don't react with anything, you can see this by writing the ionic equation like so:

1.) Molecular formula (given): FeBr2 (aq)+Na2S (aq)= FeS(s)+2NaBr(aq)

Each dissolved FeBr2 breaks up into one Fe with a charge of 2+ and two Br with a negative charge. This gives you:

Fe(aq)+ 2Br(aq)+Na2S(aq)=FeS(s)+2NaBr

2.) Now repeat what was shown with the other compounds in the given molecular formula, and pay attention to the states that each ion is in (solid, liquid, aqueous, gas) because this will give you the ionic equation, which from there you can get rid of any ions that don't change amount or state.

3.) Ionic formula: Fe(aq)+ <u>2Br(aq)</u>+<u>2 Na(aq)</u>+S (aq)=FeS(s)+<u>2 Na(aq)+2Br(aq)</u>

4.)When you've derived a total ionic equation (above), you'll  find that some ions appear on both sides of the equation in equal numbers. For example, in this case two Na cations and two Br anions appear on both sides of the total ionic equation. What does this mean? It means these ions don't participate in the chemical reaction. They're present before and after the reaction. Nothing happens to them. So those are removed and you're left with the net ionic: Fe(aq)+S(aq)=FeS(s)

Hope this helps :)

When does a star reach equilibrium?
Snezhnost [94]
Actually, that does not happen until the protostar becomes a star when nuclear ignition starts and is maintained. It takes awhile for new star to go through its T-Tauri stage and settle down on the main sequence. 

<span>A STAR does not reach hydrostatic equilibrium until it on the main sequence. Otherwise, it would remain a brown dwarf with not enough mass to to maintain nuclear fusion for more than 3,000 to 10,00 years. </span>

Mechanism with a small activation energy or one with large activation energy​
tangare [24]

Answer:

Rate depends on the rate constant. The rate constant depends on temperature and activation energy. If you have lower activation energy the rate will be higher. This is why catalysts are added since catalysts provide an alternate pathway that requires lower activation energy and catalysts are added to increase the rate of reaction.

Explanation:

This is only the answer if you were asking:

"Which corresponds to the faster rate: a mechanism with a small activation energy or one with a large activation energy?"

Thats what I understood about your question.

Which compound contains a triple bond?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: C2H2

Explanation: Because each of the lines represent one bond, and because there are three lines (bonds) between the carbons, it means that they are bonded by three bonds, also known as a triple bond.
