Answer:

Option C is correct.

The minimum amount of material that is needed for a fission reaction to keep going is called the critical mass.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the term used to describe the breakdown of the nucleus of a parent isotope into daughter nuclei.

Normally, the initial energy supplied for nuclear fission is the energy to initiate the first breakdown of the first set of radioactive isotopes that breakdown. Once that happens, the energy released from the first breakdown is enough to drive further breakdown of numerous isotopas in a manner that leads to more energy generation.

But, for this to be able to be sustained and not fizzle out, a particular amount of radioactive material to undergo nuclear fission must be present. This particular amount is termed 'critical mass'

Hope this Helps!!!

 Convert the following to moles.
Luda [366]
Use dimensional analysis.
\frac{60.0 grams NaOH}{1} *  \frac{1 mole NaOH}{40.0 amu NaOH} =1.5 moles

\frac{2.73 grams NH4Cl}{1} *  \frac{1 mole NH4Cl}{53.49 amu NH4Cl} = .051 moles

Now you try converting moles to grams. All you have to do is start with MOLES  (Unlike the previous examples) over 1 then multiply that ratio by the ratio of molar mass over 1 mole. Hope this helps!
