Answer:

The correct answer is option B

B. In a sample of enriched uranium

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction whereby large nucleus of an atom is break down into smaller parts lighter nuclei or daughter nuclei and release large amount of energy, due to the large amount of energy there are alot of heat released.

During the process large nucleous is bombarded by the neutrons, as a result of this the nucleous becomes disintegrated because it's unstable and their is production of lighter nuclei as well as neutrons and energy.

When the U -235 particles are compacted together there result a high energy neutron which can bombard another Uranium - 235 molecule in the region. uranium is enriched with more of the fissile uranium isotope, then when it is enriched it can be used to make atomic reactors and explosives like bombs.

You might have meant hemiacetal, not hemicetal.
Acetals contain two –OR groups, one –R group and a –H atom. In hemiacetals, one of the –OR groups in acetals is replaced by a –OH group<span>.

The reaction that occurs in a Breathalyzer, a device used to determine the alcohol level in a person's bloodstream, is given bel
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given below:

2 K₂Cr₂O₇ + 8 H₂SO₄ + 3 C₂H₆O → 2 Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2 K₂SO₄ + 11 H₂O

From the equation of the reaction, 3 moles of C₂H₆O is used when 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ are produced, therefore, the mole ratio of C₂H₆O to Cr₂(SO₄)₃ is 3:2.

The rate of appearance of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ in that particular moment is given 1.64 mol/min. This would than means that C₂H₆O must be used up at a rate which is approximately equal to their mole ratios. Thus,  the rate of of the disappearance of C₂H₆O can be calculated from the mole ratio of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and C₂H₆O.

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 1.64 mol/min of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  * 3 moles of C₂H₆O / 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min of C₂H₆O

Therefore, the rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

If a gas had a volume of 6.7 L and started at STP, what would the new pressure be
Phantasy [73]

The new pressure would be = 4.46 atm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

V₁=6.7 L(at STP, 1 atm 273 K)

V₂=1.5 L

Required

The new pressure

Solution

Boyle's Law  

At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

\rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

P₂ = (P₁V₁)/V₂

P₂ = (1 atm x 6.7 L)/1.5 L

P₂ = 4.46 atm
