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.

Calculate the ionization constant for the following acids or bases from the ionization constant of its conjugate base or conjuga
suter [353]

Answer:

7.41 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Let's consider the basic dissociation reaction of trimethylamine (CH₃)N).

(CH₃)N + H₂O = (CH₃)NH⁺ + OH⁻

According to Brönsted-Lowry, in this reaction (CH₃)N is a base and (CH₃)NH⁺ is its conjugate acid. The pKb for (CH₃)N is 9.87. We can calculate the pKa of (CH₃)NH⁺ using the following expression.

pKa + pKb = 14

pKa = 14 - pKb = 14 - 9.87 = 4.13

Then, we can calculate the acid dissociation constant for (CH₃)NH⁺ using the following expression.

pKa = -log Ka

Ka = antilog - pKa = antilog -4.13 = 7.41 × 10⁻⁵

Propane gas reacts with oxygen according to this balanced equation: C subscript 3 H subscript 8 space (g )space plus space 5 spa
Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

C_3H_8(g)+ 5O_2 (g)->3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

From the balanced chemical equation,

1 mole of propane forms ------ 3 mol. of CO_2 gas.

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 g/mol.

One mole of any gas at STP occupies --- 22.4 L.

Hence, 44 g of propane forms (3x22.4 L=) 67.2 L of CO2 gas at STP.

Answer:

Thus, 67.2 L of CO2 is formed at STP.

sasho [114]

Answer: Y and Z. It's D.

Explanation: W represents evaporation, which is a physical change. X represents dissolving, which is also a physical change. If X and W aren't chemical changes, then Y and Z must be if half of the choices are.
