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!!!

The specific heat capacity of titanium is 0.523j/g c what is the heat capacity of 2.3g of titanium
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

1.2029 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat capacity of titanium = 0.523 J/g.°C

Specific heat capacity of 2.3 gram of titanium = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

1 g of titanium have 0.523 J/g.°C specific heat capacity

2.3  × 0.523 J/g.°C

1.2029 J/g.°C
